I have always found it so difficult to appologise. To say I was wrong, especially to non family members.
Last week I lost my temper with someone at work, put the phone down and wrote a letter of complaint to her manager.
The entire weekend it bothered me that I acted harsh. The holy spirit kept on telling me I need to appologise. As a christian I should've acted differently. That the way I acted was not very christian like. I decided over the weekend already that I would write a letter of appology to her and her manager. The whole time I thought of a reason not to do it. I have never done something like this, appologise for my behaviour at work.
Today I got busy and time went by, I kept on thinking about having to write that terrible letter. I now oppened a message from someone who had no means of knowing about the whole thing and this is what was on the message.
"When you say something you shouldn't have said - something that you didn't mean or was unkind or critical - apologise right away. The longer you wait the harder it will be."
A message that shook me. I sat down, wrote the letter and e-mailed it straight away.
"God please forgive me and if possible let the other party accept my apology in the manner it was extended."
I will next time think twice before loosing my temper. It was not nice to have to apologise, but it was the right thing to do.
