Reconciliation begins when one person asks forgiveness.

Live it
Working as a computer consultant for years, sometimes I think I've seen and heard it all. I remember the story of a customer who called in and spoke to a representative. It seems he couldn't get an image on their monitor and wanted to send it back as defective. Since the reps job was to trouble shoot the situation, he began asking simple questions in order to remotely diagnose the problem. After several minutes of asking questions, the rep gave up and said, "Here's what you need to write on the return label..." The customer said, "Hold on. There's no power back here, let me go up front where's there's light." The rep wanted to tell him to write, "Some people are too stupid to own a computer," but his manager refused and told him, your first question should have been, "Are you plugged into a working power receptacle? You're as much at fault as him!"

You know, broken relationships begin just like that. It's rare to find someone who blames himself more than someone else for the problem. But what's even harder to understand is how a separation can remain severed for years, if not decades, and neither person remember how it started and what's keeping it going. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised to hear one of them explain, "I don't know the problem, but I know whose fault it is!"

Pray it
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. Eph 6:18
