The Power of Apology.
Today, I wish to explore the truth in the words of a wise man who once said,
"Apology is a super glue of relationships. It can repair any broken relationship."
This deep wisdom teaches us the transformative power of humility and the willingness to make amends.
This is a principle that is also well articulated in the Scriptures.
Proverbs 28:13, reads,
"He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy."
This verse reminds us that when we have wronged another, the path to restoration begins with humble confession.
It is not enough to simply cover up our mistakes or pretend they never happened.
True healing can only come when we muster the courage to admit our faults and seek forgiveness.
An authentic apology is the first step towards mending a broken relationship.
A sincere apology opens doors to healing and reconciliation.
In Matthew 5:23-24, Jesus says,
"Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift."
In this passage, Jesus is teaching us that our relationship with God is inseparably linked to our relationship with others.
If we have wronged someone, we must first seek to make amends before we can approach God with our offerings.
A heartfelt apology paves the way for true reconciliation: restoring the broken bonds of fellowship.
When we humble ourselves and take responsibility for our actions, we open the door for restoration and healing.
"Apology is the super glue that can mend any relationship".
Let us embrace this wisdom and commit to using the power of apology to strengthen the bonds of love and fellowship in our lives.
Apologise to someone today!
Humble yourself, swallow your pride, and apologise.
It may be uncomfortable: but it will bear much comfort. I dare to promise.
