The process of offering our forgiveness and asking for forgiveness is called making amends. Over the years I’ve talked to many people who were OK with working on themselves but really struggled when we got to this point in their recovery. Asking questions like if God has forgiven me, isn’t that enough? Or I don’t want to dig up the past, how will that help me?
The beauty about making amends is that it is more about your future than your past. How can we expect to move forward in our lives and have truly healthy relationships when we are still caring hurt, regret, shame and pain caused by our past relationships.
This can be a very scary thought for many people, but it’s where we have the biggest opportunity for freedom and growth.
