The Work of Rebuilding 🛠️✨
In session eight, we’re looking deeper at why reconciliation is different from forgiveness. While forgiveness is about what I do, reconciliation is two-sided and requires much more.
What Reconciliation Requires:
- Two-Sided Effort: It requires repentance, confession, and accountability from the other person.
- Rebuilding Trust: It takes time and consistent effort to rebuild what was lost.
- Wisdom and Safety: Reconciliation is not always safe or wise, especially in cases of ongoing harm or abuse.
As far as it depends on me, I want to seek peace with everyone. But I’ve learned that while forgiveness is always possible, reconciliation depends on both of us.
Are you seeking reconciliation today, or is it time to focus on forgiveness? 🕊️
