There have been people that have received “pink slips” through email telling them they were laid off from their job. I have even  heard of one person breaking up with another through email or instant message. I guess we have just gotten to the point that we would rather send someone a message with bad news rather than tell it to them in person. That way we don’t have to do anything face to face.

Even though great things can be accomplished with electronic devices, some things should always be done in person. The photo below is an example:

I hope this is not a real form that anybody has ever used to apologize with. I have no clue who its originator is, but I don’t think I would be convinced that the person who sent it was truly sorry for what they had done if all they could do was send me this form and not tell me in person.

God convicts us of our sin against another so that we can swallow our pride, go to them, ask forgiveness, and get our own heart cleansed and pure from sin. There are some things that you can’t take a shortcut with.

The next time you do something to hurt another’s feelings, as quickly as possible swallow your pride and tell them you are sorry. You will feel much better for having been honest and it will help you to be more careful about what you say and do in the future. There is no better feeling than having a clear conscience.

We all do things we regret, and the other person can probably understand that because they have been there at some point also. In the end, they will respect you much more if you can admit your wrongs to them in person.

They can tell how sincere you are by the tone of your voice, unlike checking a block in a form.

If you always do the right thing, you will have much peace in your life. Let the Holy Spirit lead and guide you each day and you will have a much less chance of saying or doing something that hurts the feelings of another. If you do need to defend yourself or confront, He will give you the right words to say in a way that you won’t regret after you have thought about it at a later time.

Let God be in control of your words and you will have much more peace each day!

Wouldn’t it be great to live your life never being sorry for anything you say or do?

The trouble with words and actions is that the moment they are let out, they can never be brought back in no matter how hard you try. That is why it is so important to let the Holy Spirit guide you in everything you do and say. The more you can do this, the less you will have to be sorry for.

Your own fleshly feelings will lead you astray many times, because it is hard to think clearly when you are angry, hurt, furious, sad, etc. Don’t make a decision to do or say things when you are feeling this way. If at all possible, wait until you can pray about the matter and ask God to show you His Will. If you are put on the spot and have to respond, ask the Holy Spirit to tell you what to say.

God already has a plan in mind to take care of the wrong, but sometimes we refuse to let Him and formulate a plan to handle it ourselves.  This usually results in the problem becoming worse instead of better; then He has to do extra work to straighten out the mess we have made.

Choose now that you will live your life never being sorry for words you say or actions you take. Let God handle any problems that come along. During this journey He will show you more and more Who He Really Is, and you will never want to go back to the old way that you used to handle things.
