1 John 1:8-9 … If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.
When we seek forgiveness it should come from the heart. I would like to share with you a list of particles to consider:
- Think about what happened and what it is you are sorry for
- Write down your apology
- Practice what you plan to say until you feel comfortable
- State clearly what it is you are sorry for doing
- Acknowledge your actions without making excuses
- Share your feelings about what happened – avoid blaming, exaggerating or saying empty words
- Listen to the other person’s response without getting defensive
- Offer to make amends if appropriate
- Move on. Once you’ve apologized, let it go – don’t force the issue give the other person time
