Reflection
The other side of forgiveness is making amends, when it is you who has been - or needs to be - forgiven for hurt or wrongdoing you may have caused. As with forgiveness, the gift - to yourself and to whoever has been hurt or wronged - of making amends is revealed when it is given unconditionally from your heart. |
