You’ll Feel So Much Lighter
You’ll Feel So Much Lighter
Have you ever said something about someone and regretted it shortly afterward?
I have to admit, I got a little worked up once while sitting at the table with friends, talking about a certain celebrity. I simply didn’t believe his love for others was genuine. It felt so fake to me.
But, what we often overlook—let’s be honest, because of our own pride—is this:
Between “it seems that way” and “it IS that way,” there is so, so much space…
The next morning, I woke up and when I thought about what I had said, I didn’t feel good about it. Then, almost immediately, I saw a new interview with that person—full of love, full of tears, full of authenticity. Ooooh… I think God was trying to tell me something. 🫣
And before reaching for my first cup of coffee, I reached for my phone and wrote to everyone who had been there that evening: “I’m starting today by asking for forgiveness…”
I didn’t have to do that. They had probably already forgotten about it. But the next time they saw that person, they might have immediately formed an opinion about him—because of what I had said—which wouldn’t have been the truth.
And, when we openly admit our mistakes, God blesses that act.
Just like the Bible says: “But if we confess our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.” (1 John 1:9, NLT)
If we confess our sins… That doesn’t happen in secret.
Not by quietly mumbling to ourselves, “That was wrong, I’ll do better next time.” But by speaking it out loud.
The beautiful thing is that saying, “I was wrong,” may cost us something. But it costs far less than carrying that burden around all day long.
Where might you need to ask someone for forgiveness—or admit, “That really wasn’t right of me…”? Do it—and you’ll feel at least 10 pounds lighter! 😃
You are a miracle!
