Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.
Matthew 5:23-24
God desires our full attention. When we are stewing about disagreements with friends, relatives, neighbors or associates, it takes the focus away from worshiping God.
The easiest way to make up with a friend or enemy is to say, “I am sorry.”
It doesn’t matter who is right or wrong because, when we think about it, most of our disagreements are small when we look at the big picture. And, the act of saying, “I am sorry,” clears the air for discussion if it is needed.
Plus, saying “I am sorry,” costs us nothing, except our pride. And, do we want to let our pride get between us and God? I don’t think so.
