Righting Wrongs.
Jesus said, “If you bring your gift to the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar, and go your way. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” ( Matthew 5:23-24 ).
Where does animosity fit into all this?
“I know we haven’t connected in months and it feels weird whenever I see you, so…..I’m sorry?”
Do you send a text? Write them a Facebook message? What if they just don’t want you to be a part of their world anymore? That seems to be the case with me. There’s a handful of people who have simply shut me out, and for reasons I can’t seem to pinpoint.
I try to follow the teachings of Christ. And Christ’s teachings encourage community. The deep sense of loneliness I experience echos of it’s importance. Yet, I SUCK at relationships.
Thank God for the people who have pursued me; who are relentless in keeping our friendship. They are few, but for them, I am grateful.
