Make Amends
Therefore, if you are offering your gift
at the altar and there remember that
your brother has something against you,
leave your gift there in front of the altar.
First go and be reconciled to your brother,
then come and offer your gift.
Matthew 5:23
Throughout my experience with cancer I often prayed to be given the grace to be vulnerable.
Dale and juanita ryan
Sometimes I was granted this gift, but sometimes—I think primarily when anxieties of one kind or another set in—I moved back into my defenses. Often without even knowing it.
My defenses hurt people. At a minimum, my defenses create a sense of separation from other people.
As a result, others will feel held at arms length or even pushed away.
When we harm others, we have a choice to make.
Juanita Ryan, age 74, of Hot Springs, went to her heavenly home on Tuesday, December 12, She was born on November 13, , in Little Rock.We can deny or minimize the harm we have caused—and thus cause more harm. We can sink into shame about how bad we are—and thus keep the focus on us while continuing to miss the needs of those we have hurt. Or we can make amends.
