Have you ever heard people saying they are tired of sorry? That sorry won’t change the situation; it won’t change the heart aches and definitely won’t make my broken spirit whole again? Well I have heard this and sometimes I have been the victim of these phrases, but I came to realize that people don’t apologize because it’s the normal thing to do, but they do it because it’s the right thing to do.
Sometimes we hurt the people we treasure and really care about and we keep on saying sorry until the word looses taste. It becomes senseless to say it and that’s why people no longer apologize. Saying sorry doesn’t mean there isn’t guilt and forgiveness doesn’t mean that the pain is gone. The best time to forgive is normally immediately and not four years after the person who killed my heart has shifted to a place where I can’t see them. We keep on making mistakes since we are human and that is not to justify what we keep doing, but that’s the reality. If you are waiting to date an angel then you should write a letter in heaven to be allowed to do so when you get there (if you will). The world is full of people who keep making mistakes each and everyday not willingly but sometimes it just happen, and the sanest thing to do is to say that you are sorry and life moves on.
Somebody said if you are going to do something tonight that will make you to be sorry tomorrow then you should sleep. This is to say that the mistakes we keep making yet we can avoid, should be avoided. It is true that sometimes it’s tiring to hear the phrase ‘I am sorry it won’t happen again’. Have you ever realized that people will always say that even without a blink yet they did the same thing yesterday? This is because there is no day with the name ‘again’. This is my point saying sorry is okay, but saying it without meaning it is as useless as not saying it.
Robert Flipp once said that a mistake is always forgivable, rarely excusable and always unacceptable. Forgiveness is possible, tough it’s hard. It’s never easy to forgive the same person over and over again, but it’s possible. Women have placed record of banking grudges for years and never forgiving. I wonder how that is possible, but sometime we men don’t deserve the forgiveness we get, because we are always known for taking advantage of the hearts that beat for us.
Life full of sorry and forgiveness is a beautiful life. Forgiveness is the expression of love and care and apologizing is the best way of showing respect to those we care about. Let us learn from God the father. His forgiveness is unconditional and I am sure he will never be tired of doing so. This is not to mean we should take advantage of his goodness, and the same applies to the relationships that we have in life.
Forgiveness restores fellowship, it’s the final form of love, it determines the future of soul mates and it’s what brings the heavenly experience on earth. Forgive and you will be forgiven. Its time that we get used to the fact that people will always say sorry, but remember that you always have to forgive no matter what, that just the way it is.
Wake up let us journey on.
