There are times when you reflect on relationships and see that things changed and not for the better.
It’s easier to remember those who did you wrong. Is it as easy to recall when you were the perpetrator?
Those quiet moments when you reflect reveal so much. Yeah, maybe … no not maybe … definitely. I messed up. I dropped the ball. That’s on me. That’s what I did. It’s irrelevant what the reasons were and how I was feeling, I still caused that.
I can say I wish I didn’t do it, but what does that do? What can I do to bring healing to the situation? How can I make peace here? I know I can offer my heartfelt apologies, but I truly want to seek for what makes peace in this situation. The restoration of a right relaitonship or at least knowing that I did my best to express not just contrition and sorrow, but the repentance that offers restoration.
I messed up and I want to make it right – what can I do? How can I rebuild trust here?
