Why Is Saying Sorry So Hard?

 "Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working." James 5:16

You’ve messed up and you know it but yet why not tell whoever you hurt you are sorry. Humans make mistakes. Only God can redeem us and set us free. 

Admitting you were wrong is sometimes difficult and it is humbling to have to admit your mistakes. I have been hurt by people who eventually came back and apologized and then I have some people in my life who never apologized at all. Regardless you have to choose to forgive even if they never personally came to you seeking reconciliation. 

It’s take a big person to admit they may have been wrong or they may have said things that wounded. The Holy Spirit has to convict so continue to move forward in life and let God work. If there are friends  who have hurt you give them to God. 

PRAYER: Lord I seek your face today and choose to be joyful. Help me be still. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
