ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we
confess our sins, he who is faithful and just
will forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all
unrighteousness. 1 John 18-10 \

•     Weve lost track of what an apology is. An
  apology shouldn't be, 'I'm sorry I did something
  that upset you.' People are not setting it right.
  We try to get around it.

 Questions    1.) Who are you in the story
today?     2.) How do you learn and grow from
your mistakes? Why is it so tough to set things
right after you've really blown it?     3.) How
do Jesus' words relate to these tough situations
we all face?     4.) What makes a "good
apology"? Have you ever had to make a big
apology?     5.) What does it take to truly
forgive someone? Have you ever had to forgive
something really painful?
