Today, I plan to live by the following idea:
Virtuous and honorable people are not the ones who never hurt other people; they’re the ones who say sorry when they do…… even when there are others’ faults and messes at play.
Something happened, and let’s just say that things beyond my control are messed up about it. But for me at least, I see my fault in it clearly. And without expecting or asking the others to see theirs (I leave that to God), by the grace of heaven itself, I’m going to own up to my fault and bow down to some people today, should He help it to happen. I’m not going to ask myself whether or not they deserve it or consider what they’ll think of it. I’m trying my best to fear God, not man, and let go of my dignity and my pride. It’s Him, really, whom I’ve offended and who sees my sin. But it’s also Him who covers it. If I can convince myself that He defines my standing and my worth, then I’m home free. Nothing, not even my sole humiliation among others both younger and older than me, can touch me, because me is safely tucked away in Jesus, my example and my life.
