SABRINA
It can happen on the spur of the moment, or after days, weeks, often years of agonizing. An apology. At home, work, and even church, we must preserve and nurture friendships and relationships by working to recover our missteps.
What better time than in the season of Lent to repair broken relationships? The truth is, we often fail those we care the most about, and 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, even unintentionally, 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, and continue in your journey with God, knowing that we all need grace and forgiveness! Have a blessed day!
