Galatians 6:1, “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”

As we continue making our way up the path of reconciliation the next principle we need to put into practice is is this.

We need to Return to the injured person.  Up to this point we have recognized our involvement, repented of our involvement and requested God’s forgiveness.  If we are going to get victory when we have been the offending person we must return to the one we have hurt.  This is easier said than done, I know.  It is not easy to look someone in the eye that we have wronged and make things right.

If we are going to be useful to God then we have to be the more mature person and go to the one we have hurt or offended and seek to make it right.  That return trip is the longest trip of this journey, I promise.  Yet, it is worth every effort we make to go.  You will make an enemy a friend more than likely.  They have a will of their own and I cannot promise that they will be ready to forgive and move on.

We need to pray about these steps before we ever strike out on the road to reconciliation.  As we pray about what is going to take place then we can humble ourselves before God and then it will help us go in a right attitude.

So, how are you doing?
