How sorry are you for the wrongs you have committed against others? This is a challenging question. Most of us are filled with rationalizations, excuses and explanations, rather than a straightforward, “I was wrong. I am sorry. I offer no excuses.” Others need to see, hear and experience our sorrow for wrongdoing. Next time you harm another, take ownership of the harm you have caused, offering a God-felt apology according to Scripture. (2 Corinthians 7:10)
