“Understand Me Before You Judge Me”

---

💛 Let’s Grow in Understanding Together

It’s easy to enjoy the energy of a Sanguine — and just as easy to misunderstand them. Their joy may be mistaken for immaturity, their openness mistaken for insincerity. But those with a Sanguine temperament reflect a part of God’s nature that is relational, expressive, and full of life.

Today, we’re slowing down to better understand our Sanguine sisters — women who often bring warmth, encouragement, and laughter, yet may quietly struggle with inconsistency, insecurity, or the fear of being rejected or forgotten.

This is your moment to better understand them — and yourself — as we continue learning how to love our neighbours as ourselves (Mark 12:31) and follow Jesus’ teaching to look beyond appearances and extend compassion (John 7:24). 💬✨

🪞 Reflection

God’s people come in many expressions. While some process inwardly, Sanguines live outwardly — talking through their feelings, seeking connection, and lighting up rooms. Yet even they need to feel heard, not judged. Under the laughter may be loneliness. Behind the cheerfulness, a longing to be taken seriously.

Today, let’s choose understanding over assumption.
Let’s listen before labeling, and reflect before reacting.
