Now that I've got you writing love poems (you did do it right?) this next assignment should be easy!
I find I am recommending the Amends process more and more to my clients. Some of you know I have a background in recovery and that's where this idea comes from. Amends are meant to free us from the bondage of unforgiveness. It has been said that unforgiveness is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die. So how can we be free from life's unfairnesses? I'll be addressing this answer over the next couple of blogs.
The first line of defense is laid out in the Word of God, "If your brother offends you go to him." As simple as that is all I can tell you from experience is that nobody does that! We talk to other people about the problem but we don't tell the people we're offended with in an unoffensive way.
But God encourages us to, as much as we can, live at peace with every person. Most of the time just going to them as diplomatically as possible solves it. I even recommend practicing with a friend!
But what if talking to the person isn't a good idea? What if the person you're angry with is no longer alive? That's where the letter comes in. ..guess I'll give you one more week on that!
