My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires.” James 1:19-20
Maybe you have been hurt by someone and you are waiting for them to initiate an “I’m sorry session” but nothing is happening. What do you do?
Holding a grudge isn’t the answer. So you know you want reconciliation with this individual but they are too stubborn to allow it. You can’t force someone to say they are sorry or they made a mistake but often that is the issue. The person knows they are on the wrong but can’t admit it.
So the separation and animosity continues until someone is big enough to say this is stupid and only giving the devil glory. Do you have a plan?
PRAYER: My heart aches when a wall of separation is erected between friends or family members over something really trivial and stupid. Help anyone dealing with being too proud to say they are sorry to seek your face and humble themselves. Help keep me humble. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
