Apologies

 They are hard for most people. It's difficult to admit you are wrong, especially when our pride gets in the way. We as humans were made to be pure, but because of sin we now contain a sinful nature . That nature can cause us to be selfish with our time, money and especially our words. Pride wants you to look out for what it thinks is best, but pride is a cause of sin that can cause us to sin. When we forgive someone Or apologize we slam the door in the face of pride. Because of Jesus spirit in us, we know it is right to do so, we also know that when we forgive or apologize out of a sincere heart, it makes us feel better too. True Apologies benefit us more than we realize. Recognizing our sin and accepting responsibility for what we did, grows our character, Humility is a great opportunity for growth. Humility will cause us to accept our imperfections and focus on  God's perfection.

Ephesians 4:32 "Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Colossians 3:13 "Bearing with one another, and forgiving each other, whoever has a complaint against anyone; just as the Lord forgave you, so also should you."

2 Corinthians 12:9 "But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me."
