"I'm so sorry"

"leave your sacrifice there at the altar. Go and be reconciled to that person. Then come and offer your sacrifice to God." ~Matthew 5:24

Even though I don't like it, I really believe this verse to be true.

Last night The Holy Spirit took over and helped me be "reconciled" with a loved one. I cannot tell you how much it has been bothering me to be in conflict with a family member. We are family forever! It had been several months since I hurt her feelings... and in turn my feelings were crushed.  I won't go into all of the ugly details, but I'm happy because all is good now; and I feel free to be the woman God wants me to be. It was impossible to call myself a Christian (and sit in church on Sunday singing worship music) and avoid people and have the kinds of feelings I've had for her.  I know everyone isn't going to like me and I'd be lying if I told you I didn't care, but I have to obey God. There were a few healing tears and hugs.  She didn't say she was sorry or shed a tear, but I feel so much better! She appreciated me reaching out.

If you are reading this and anyone comes to mind, I hope you go to them and do the hard thing. You will feel so much better! It will be totally worth it... I promise! I pray you get the courage to do it today!
