The people who hurt the most do not always look broken.
We are rarely seeing the full picture of what someone is living through, which is why kindness and grace matter so much. When people fall short, it is not always because they don’t care or because they are unwilling. Sometimes they are doing all they can, and it still is not enough for the season they are in. More often than not, they already know that. They carry that guilt silently, and in those moments, being met with mercy can make it easier to keep going.
