This is one great story to reflect from: One day one fine man went to an old monk in the mountain. The fine man said: I have said terrible things against my brothers please tell me how can i make it up to them? How can i make things right? Then the old monk said: "First put feathers on every doorsteps you will see in your hometown. Then the fine young man did exactly what the monk told him and went back to see him again. He asked: "Then what?" The old monk said: "Now go back and pick up those feathers again." The young man was so surprised and said: "What? Those feathers would probably already have blown away by the wind by now. How can i possibly take those back?" The old monk said: "Exactly! That is the same thing with every words you have said. There is no way you can take it back. What has already been said and done is irrevocable." Sorry will never make things right no matter how many times we ask for it. Words are very powerful we should learn to use it wisely. Apologies will never erase the marks and memories that our mistakes have caused. That is in the case between one human being to another. The good news is that we can never make things right with God when we sin. There is no way we can make it up to Him but Jesus can make it all forgive and washed away. The only way we can live freely after we sin is accepting that we have no power to do it on our own but only the forgiveness we receive from God. "Watch your thoughts! Watch your mouth and watch your actions!" Great reminder from the sermon I'm listening yesterday. |
