Nothing Wrong With Making It Right

Nothing Wrong With Making It Right It is easy to look at someone else’s circumstances and see where changes should be made. It’s also seemingly unproblematic to ask another to change their attitude for the sake of harmony and peace. “Just forgive your friend, she never meant to harm you.” “How can you ask me to do that when you haven’t forgiven your own brother for something he never said?” When we are close to a situation our vision may be acutely impaired. When someone can call us out on our morals and values a re-examination of our principles is necessary. Let’s move toward putting our egos aside and ask God to help us seek the truth. We may hear His voice in the silence of our prayers or a message might be heard loud and clear through a person whose insight hits us hard in the gut. There is nothing wrong with admitting we were shortsighted. In fact, there is everything right about reconciling with one’s self and with others. With trust we can go through a series of personal challenging questions and ponder them until our bodies physically react. When we hit home we’ll feel a pained heart, a headache, nerves jump, numbness in our limbs, or our gut will heat up. However, when we’ve made it right peace will envelope our beings, joy will tickle our hearts and the love of God will keep us pressing forward in growth and strength. Let us work together toward our divine sense of self. In acknowledging our errors we can begin to make humble strides toward changing our ways. Most of all, we can live affirming there is a God whose presence is in our lives. We all have the divine light and spirit of God within us. Let us choose to live in that divine light. There is nothing wrong with making it right!
