A excellent reference to Bibcal restoration of relationships with assistance in forgiving, proper apologies, and peacemaking. A must read for all of us! We all need forgiveness as imperfect people.<br />God forgives us, we need forgive one another, no matter WHO is right or wrong, a true Christan relationship does not hold grudges or lack of forgiveness. Love one another, as I LOVE YOU, says JESUS : This was JESUS final commandment before he was resurrected.Pray for Peacemaking for all.

Especially when you are angry. The Holy Spirit has a way of making us uncomfortable with results of bad behavior.

Your advice is so perfect but it can be hard to put into practice and 'let go' of the issue at hand. I don't hold grudges very long, I can't even remember the offense, but I MUST forgive, and without realizing, it is too easy to ask forgiveness still clarifying reasons why I am right. What kind of apology is that?! It is through the power of the Holy Spirit that I press on to His high calling on my life. Thanks so much Gail. What a precious friend. I think I am going to post this to my FB page too!!Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303626433109140676noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-61556727478141855902012-05-16T12:54:45.938-04:002012-05-16T12:54:45.938-04:00Hi, Gail,

When I finally realised after years of suffering my own ignorance and loss in my marriage and I truly forgave him - I released him to start his own healing process. I apologised to him for my dishonesty and our marriage healed. Thank you for your encouragement to all of us that apology is the start of healing.Noeline Clare-Talbothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021693605117006095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2538057051911243767.post-53844024103488984142012-05-07T17:46:01.532-04:002012-05-07T17:46:01.532-04:00Thanks, Alicia.
