Meditations on "Amends"

“We continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.” Book of AA

As we prayerfully review our lives with God, He will reveal where we have caused harm, and when we need to make amends with someone. He will also teach us new ways to live in relationship with Him and others.

God wants us to use kind words in all circumstances so that the practice of gossip will decrease or stop altogether

Healing takes place when we strip away the excuses and look at the event in the light of God’s love.

Be kind and merciful, and forgive others, just as God forgave you because of Christ. (Ephesians 4:32)

God has forgiven us for the wrongs we have done and now we need to ask forgiveness of those we have harmed and, if possible, work towards reconciliation.

Sadness is one of the most common human emotions and can be difficult to deal with.

Jesus told the story of two men who went to church to pray.

When we turn our will and our life over to God’s care and trust the new life He gives us, does that mean we should never again reflect on guilty feelings?

When we make amends under the guidance of our loving God, everyone is blessed.

God’s heart for us is that we enjoy caring and loving relationships with others.

Infidelity in a relationship has harmed many of us.
