I deeply sorry. This can be very difficult to say for some people, but I have found out that sorry has just five English alphabet and so so powerful. It heals more faster than any drugs we can ever take.
Welcome back my beautiful friends. Is indeed a great thing to have you back for this inleo initiative 5. For this week we have a special topic. Talking about the power of apologies and forgiveness. We have two things there, first we have apologies, then followed by forgiveness. I want us to know that if we must obtain forgiveness from people then we have to learn to tender apologize in the right way. That is the beginning of this journey if you ask me.
I have seen people who will offend you and will still insist that you will apologize. Some people don't think that they have fault at all. As far as we are humans, then we should also accept the fact that we can offend people in one way or the other. If we bear this in mind, then we can easily apologize to people when we offend them. Offenses must come. But the ability to accept that we have offended people is what we lack some times. We are all emotional beings and we do have feelings. If we are offended and we can't apologize properly, then we can hardly get the forgiveness of others. This is the gospel truth.
I have had children complain about their parents who never apologize to their children maybe thinking that parents should not apologize to their children. This is a typical African parents. In Africa, parents thinks that only children should apologize. But that is not how it should be. We should learn how to apologize when we noticed that we have gone wrong. We don't need anyone to tell us that we need to ask people to forgive us. We are all humans and we know that humans have feelings and they feel bad when people offend them and don't apologize.
Apologize is a very big medicine. It heals very fast even faster than medicine itself. There are some people that are sick and all they need to get healed is apologize from the right person who have offended.
Apologize is also a way of one accepting responsibility for what we have done wrong. Is shows how responsible we are when we can apologize. If one finds it difficult is shows that the person in question is a coward. Cowards run away from responsibilities. That is the very reason why we need to learn how to apologize to the right person.
Forgiveness also is a virtue. Not everyone too can forgive when they are given apologize. Some will tell you that they will never forgive no matter what. Forgiveness is divine and it should be our own way of given back to the people what God has given us without us asking. God forgave us when we have not asked for it. We also need to forgive others even if they did not ask us to forgive them.
