He wants to Apologize

Luke 15:17-18 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! I will arise and go to my father, and will say unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before thee,

apologize

express regret for something that one has done wrong.

I listen to this radio station here in florida. There is this one testimony that i love to hear its about this man who was about to divorce his wife and constantly blamed her for everything but then one night God laid all the things he did to her to hurt her at his feet so he began to look at his own life and the choices he made. And he had to go back to his wife for all the things he kept blaming her for and apologize for the mistakes he was making because he played his part and God restored their marriage. Apologizing is hard. It is admitting that you were wrong! That you made a mistake it takes courage and for you to not be pride to admit I was wrong! I should have handle myself better make better choices. Yet it is one thing to say your sorry and make the same actions yet its another thing to say your sorry and to have changed your actions! A real apology comes with change! Just like true repentance!

He changed his life!!!

Acts 9:18-21 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul’s eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strengthSaul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, “Isn’t he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn’t he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?”

Like I said True Repentance means true change!! Saul Changed his life. On the day of Damascus as he meet with Jesus he asked him Lord what would you have me to do? From that day forward he learned to listen for Jesus . After his eyes where opened to his mistakes and blindness he was able to live a new life. He then changed his life and walked on a new path. A path that impacted and still impacts so many lives till this day!! See Jesus could have just taken Sauls life away because he was killing Christians left and right because he thought he was right for his actions but he wasn't. So God let him see his life for what it should have not been.He was really changed!! He really repented! From that day forth his life was never the same again!!!

I Accept Your Apology 

Accept believe or come to recognize (an opinion, explanation, etc.) as valid or correct.

Luke 15:20

20 So he got up and went to his father.

“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

Accepting an apology is agreeing that you forgive them. That you are willing to put it all behind and move forward. The prodigal came home and the father accepted his apology and they were able to reconcile to how they once were. Its a beautiful thing when relationships are restored and become what they once were again. You learn lessons in the process of what it was that you went through they helped you grow. The prodigal learned his lessons and they became the thing of the past. But now he was ready to move forward to a new place in his life and he was done with his prodigal ways.!

Now its time to Move Forward

Amos 3:3

3 Do two walk together

   

Now that we agree that this is what we both want we can move forward. There is nothing like moving forward with someone who you longed to move forward with. When you are finally on the same page. It was hard when you disagreed. You both went different ways and bumped heads.Yet Agreement makes things easy. Because your both on the same page heading in the same direction. So its time to move forward! Time to build to grow time to go to a new place in life.
