🌿 BRUISED BUT NOT BROKEN
January 18, 2026
📖 Scripture Isaiah 61:3 (NLT)
“He will give a crown of beauty for ashes, a joyous blessing instead of mourning.”
💭 Reflection Hey sis…You’re allowed to move on.
Moving on doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.It doesn’t mean you forgot.And it definitely doesn’t mean it didn’t matter. It just means you’re choosing not to stay in the ashes.
Some seasons end quietly—not with closure, not with apologies, not with everything making sense.And that’s okay.
You don’t need permission to choose peace.You don’t need approval to step forward.You’re allowed to want more for yourself. ✍🏽 Exercise Take a moment and write this down:
👉 “I’m allowed to move forward even if everything isn’t resolved.”
Sit with it. Let it settle.
📌 Engagement prompt:Comment “I’m choosing peace” if this speaks to you today.
🙏🏽 Optional Prayer God, help me release what no longer belongs in this season.Teach me how to choose peace without guilt.Amen.
💜 Affirmation I am allowed to move on.I choose peace over staying stuck.I may be bruised—but I’m not broken.
Bruised but Not Broken Healing daily. Rising always. 💜
