FAVOR THROUGH PROTECTION

You keep coming back to this crown, and I think part of you already knows why.

Think about something recent. Maybe the argument stopped before it went too far. Maybe the repair wasn’t as bad as you feared. Maybe the problem just didn’t turn into one more thing you had to carry.

You probably didn’t call that favor at the time. You may have just said, “well, that could have been worse,” and moved on to the next thing on your list.

Sometimes favor looks like what did not get worse.

Sometimes favor is simply not having one more thing to carry.

Michael’s protection may sometimes look this quiet. Something that could have grown into a bigger problem, and just… didn’t.
