Relationships are valuable. It's usually one of the top things listed when asked, "What are the most important things to you?" So what happens when a situation arises that needs apologies and forgiveness? Even the best of besties don't see eye to eye all of the time.

It should be easy to see that there needs to be an apology, but what about the one receiving the apology? Being hurt is super disappointing and could tarnish a relationship's trust. Sometimes, we can be tempted to hold this mistake against someone. The point of forgiveness is to remove the pain we've experienced from how we see the person who wronged us. We can't view their character from a place of the mistake they made — it causes us more pain than we may realize. Instead, we can practice the act of forgiveness to heal from the pain we've felt.

Think of someone very important to you . . . what would it look like to forgive them for their mistake?
