Yep this guy has pretty much got the picture now. When you stuff up and are sorry make sure you take the time to say so. If you have a mate who you upset because you have done something stupid then you hopefully would take the time to say sorry. If you don’t say sorry to your mates when you have made a mistake and upset them, then it won’t be long before you don’t have many mates. Think about it this way. You have a mate who you tell a secret to, and you say, please don’t tell anyone my secret. It’s not long before you realise that word has got about your secret and you know that you told no one else so it can only be your mate who told everyone. You are fuming and go looking for them to give them what for. When you finally find them they look really sorry and upset. They know they have done wrong. You know they have done wrong. Now you are even aware that they are sorry they did it. Does that make everything OK, or is there one more thing that needs to happen? Absolutely, if that was it you would still not forgive them would you? You now need to hear fro them that they are sorry, they need to speak those words for you to fully know they are sorry. Well obviously God is much more graceful than we are but we also need to tell him we are sorry when we muck up. God knows if we muck up, God even knows if we are sorry when muck up. But we still need to take the time to tell him we are sorry.
