My Daily Coffee with God: Reconciliation

My dearly beloved brothers and sisters in Christ you will find it hard to reconcile with someone you have hurt or someone who has hurt you. The wounds are deep and painful. The gap between you becomes wider. I know that I have hurt lots of people that has caused relationships to be shattered. I know. I finally reconciled with my Dad after many years of bitterness. It was my fault. He tried numerous of times to reach out to me, but I wanted no part of him. Finally, through lots of prayers from members of our family, my dad and I made up. It brought healing to our family and us closer together. I did not know it then, but in doing so we reflected God's love and the heart He has to reconcile the world to himself through Christ. What I am telling you is to take the first step to forgive and reconcile with the ones who have hurt you or you have hurt.
