Fixing the awkward stops the growth
Awkward is different than harmful. We should work to stop and eliminate behaviors and circumstances that harm ourselves and others.
When things are awkward, however, our work is to love ourselves and others enough to let it be awkward and to know we are growing through it, and that awkwardness is an essential season to any growth, just like spring is for our garden. If we eliminate the awkwardness as soon as it comes up, we end up cutting things off before they have the possibility to grow and thrive.
Where do you need to let someone be awkward as an act of love instead of fixing it?
