I've seen the meme that says "Stop waiting for the apology that's never going to come", and I wonder why I feel I need that apology. I think it has a lot to do with ego. I think I want to feel justified. I think maybe I feel it puts me one leg up over someone else. Then I ask myself why? Am I perfect? Have I hurt others and never apologized? What makes me so special that I should have my ego satisfied? What does this 'waiting' accomplish? There is only One that I should be seeking approval from! There is only One that has seen every last thing and every last thought I have ever done or thought. When I realize how far short I have fallen from where I could have stood I realize how much work I need to do in my own life. Judging others and waiting to have my ego stroked accomplishes nothing and wastes valuable time. And so I forgive. Completely. With no reservations. We may feel like we were wronged and treated poorly. We may feel like a lot of things. But you know what? So was He!! God said He would work all things for our good, and He will. Life goes on, we all need to go on. Peace.
