Hebrews 12:11 Newsletter

Hello Reader,

An offended friend is harder to win back than a fortified city. Arguments separate friends like a gate locked with bars. - Proverbs 18:19 NLT

A couple of weeks ago, we talked about helping others through a loan or a gift. I shared the principles I personally follow when making those decisions. These principles matter even more to me now in marriage because my financial choices don’t just affect me—they affect my family.

This week, I want to remind you of something important: money arguments are real, and they can damage relationships.

This isn’t just a money issue; it’s a heart issue. Your life is your budget, and your budget reflects your life. When money is impacted, emotions often follow. That’s why we must be thoughtful when helping others or asking for help—because once money enters the relationship, things may never be the same.

I have two requests for you this week.

1. If someone didn’t pay you back, forgive them.​
   Holding onto frustration can block you from being a blessing in the future. Forgiveness doesn’t mean you must give again—it means you move forward with wisdom instead of emotion.
2. If you didn’t pay someone back, apologize.​
   Confession is good for the soul. If you have the ability to make the debt right, do it. An apology and follow-through may restore a relationship you thought was lost.

Faith in Action​
Ask God this week to help you forgive and/or apologize.

Prayer of the Week

Dear God,
Help me forgive those who have hurt me and apologize to those I’ve hurt. I don’t want to carry this weight any longer. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Have a good week,
Latrisa
