When do we ask forgiveness for things we didn’t mean to say?
For the assumptions we never realized we were making?
For the hurts caused without knowing?
Sometimes, we realize too late. I once lit a candle for someone no longer alive, silently asking forgiveness for my youthful stubbornness, my mind full of opinions, and not enough understanding.
Healing sometimes begins in quiet acts like this.
Who might you silently forgive this week and who might you ask forgiveness from, even if only in your heart?
