“Forgiving one another...” Eph.4
We have all said things like “I’m sorry;” or “I was wrong, but you were wrong too;” or “What I did was wrong, but you provoked me.” Of course, none of these is really asking for forgiveness. Naming the offense without accusation or excuse lets the offended party know that we know we have hurt them. We may even communicate remorse by telling them that we are sorry we did it. But nothing communicates a desire to heal a relationship better than the simple words “I was wrong, will you forgive me?” Conversations Within” ts 2/20/2013 (On the road, AL)
