Broken Relationships

First of all, I desire for God to be glorified in everything that I do. Now, me desiring Him to be glorified is not the same as accomplishing it in everything that I do. This blog is going to be about me asking forgiveness and repentance.

This was spurned by the sermon that was delivered Yesterday at my church. The main idea was about resolution within relationships, and how the only way what is broken can become complete is through confession and repentance. So that is what I'm here to do today.

I would like to ask for forgiveness from anyone who I've wronged in someway, whether you know I have or not. From those who I've backed away from or gave excuses as to why I couldn't hang out, talk, or listen. From you who I've just shut out and abandoned. I have at many times turned away from friends. Perhaps it is something within me that likes a lot of space at times and then I allow myself to completely break a relationship over a rash decision. Then once I have started down this path, I formulate lies and half truths to get myself an excuse as to why I have done such a thing, and another excuse as to why I can't continue to be active in a friendship.

I am here right now, broken, asking for forgiveness from those whose friendships I've broken. I want to repair these relationships, but I can't fix them on my own. Those who I've scorned, maybe you can't accept this from me now. All I can ask is that you go to God about it and try to come to a place of understanding. I cannot undo what is done, but I do have the strength, through Christ, to reshape the after effects of what I've done. I'm asking God, and you, for repentance, to do a U-turn in these relationship that I've thrown away.

As I go through this process I ask that you have patience with me. I know many people in my life who Love people way better than I do, and are able to sustain and fight for relationships a lot better than I can. So, here is my pledge to try, to the best of my ability, to fight for you, my friends.

If you are someone who I have hurt, I ask that you get in contact with me. I am also going to start trying to rectify relationships with those who I know that I've abandoned and watched suffer.

I also ask God to give me his love as a begin this process and I hope that you also receive God's love. This song is about Christ's love, and since it is Christ's love, I therefore wish to replicate his love as well.
