After an usually long break, practical is back!
Hi friend,
Have you ever been hurt? I'd be surprised if there's one human being
alive who's not experienced a feeling of hurt and
disappointment before. The other side of this coin however is possibly
equally true. I know I have had opportunity to hurt
the feelings of others either intentionally or un!
Now, doea that mean man was created to strive to avoid hurt or hurting
others? Negative. It is important for example to stand your grounds as
a parent or teacher, when passing on an important principle or
teaching, inspite of the whining of the learner.
Let's talk a bit about the negative side of the issue rather. How
often do you own up, when you make mistakes and apologize for them
rather than hide behind a cloak of 'whatsoever' and ignore the result
of your (un)/intentional action?
"I am sorry" is one of the most powerful statement that can come out
of the mouth of a human especially when spoken in sincerity. There are
wars, fueds, problems, diseases etc which would've been avoided if one
party had the leadership and humility to recognise their error and
apologize.
The bible recommends for the Christian to seek peace with all men (
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall
see the Lord Hebrews 12:14).
It is wisdom to seek out those you may have hurt and apologize. You
may feel you are right and owe nobody an apology, all that will
accomplish is hatred, mistrust, loss of respect, conflict and
everything else that serves to destroy rather than build.
The greatest need of this age is peace. Peace with man and peace with God.
Apologize toaday, if you owe one.
Blessings.
Practically Yours,
Inno
