It doesn't mean it will always be received. It doesn't mean that the other person will agree or even believe. But when you can humble yourself, be honest with yourself, and try to mend what was broke due to you, oh goodness, my friend, will it free you. We all make mistakes. Some bad, some embarrassing, and some that even surprise ourselves. But when the fog clears, when you can see again, when you can see what happened, do what you can to correct what went wrong. Do what you can to make things right. Whether it was years ago or just days, fix what you are responsible for breaking. Speak the truth where things might have been misleading. Because if it has the power to impact someone's heart? God can use you to bring that needed healing in not just their life, but your life, too. If it's a certain situation, God can use you to bring restoration, not just in their life, but between Him and you, too.
We won't always get things right, but we can make things right. And that, that is where the power and difference is. We don't live in a world that does it enough, but when we constantly search our hearts and bring them to God, He will use us. And it's the very thing that makes us different. Him and His ever-changing love, through us. Even when we are the ones who messed up. ❤️
