Love your neighbor as yourself! What - Wait - EVEN that neighbor who doesn't think or look like I THINK they should. YUP! EVERY neighbor - next door, down the street, across town, a different city, town, state, or even country - EVERYONE! But that's TOO hard - I am going to have trouble with it. Of course you will! But that is why there is always a NEW day with NEW beginnings! If you hurt someone; pray about, apologize, and follow God's plan to help fix your relationship.
I am struggling with trying to help someone else mend relationships. I have to remember that THEY are responsible for those relationships with others as well as God. I can only pray and listen to their concerns. But what do you do when they say they have forgiven but they don't want anything to do with those people. Sometimes bridges are burnt beyond repair but we still must seek God's guidance and wisdom.
