SABRINA
It can happen on the spur of the moment, or after days, weeks, often years of agonizing. It is an apology. At home, work, and yes, even church we must preserve and nurture friendships and relationships by working to recover our missteps. The truth is we often fail those we care the most about. In maintaining loving, healthy relationships we must take responsibility for our actions, or our failure to act, even those with unintended consequences.
Jesus reminds us, if you have done it to the least of these, you have done it to me. While at that moment he was talking about kindnesses, the same is true for those times when we have been hurtful. When we are open to the fact that we may have been hurtful, and respond to the situation, we are demonstrating heartfelt compassion as we say those often difficult words...I am sorry, please forgive me. The same can hold true, even if you are the one who has been wronged. Let go, forgive an unkindness and continue in our journey with God, knowing that we all need His grace and forgiveness! Have a blessed day!
