🔸️ Must have the humility to ask for apology with others! 🔸️
Why do we find it so easy to confess our sins before a Holy God and find it difficult to confess our sins to an unclean brother? (Matthew 5:24). How is this possible? The only reason is, we who think we are reporting to God in our personal room, are actually reporting it “to ourselves”! We never reported to God!! It means, we are deceiving ourselves, that's all! The test of whether you have truly humbled yourself before God, depending on whether you really want to go to the person to whom you had done wrong and ask for forgiveness!!
In Indian culture, only wives have to apologize to their husbands. The evil that prevails with men is that they do not have to apologize to their wives. Somehow, the "male husbands" made an illusion as though they came from the sky!
If I have to apologize, there is no room to see whether he is superior and the inferior! You may even be a Director in your office. If you, the Director, have harmed the Peon of your office, you should humble yourself and need to say to the Peon, "I'm sorry; this is my fault; forgive me." Nothing less than this is true Christianity!
In many churches today, people who have 'bitter heart' in their relationship with one another, do not even approach each other to solve their problems smoothly! They would never wish to meet and rectify the bitterness they have with someone else!! However, such people do openly claim to be Christians! Yes, they are not at all Christians. If such people would say that 'we too would be in the kingdom of God', it would be the worst deception of any deception!! Let us humble ourselves to ask for apology!
Prayer:
Our heavenly Father! Whoever it may be, help us to humble ourselves and to reconcile with them immediately. Give us your grace to live that life! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
