Spiritual Practice
I’m Sorry
There’s something I need to tell you.
I . . .
It’s kind of hard to say.
I’m . . .
I feel guilty about what I did.
I’m s . . .
Please forgive me.
I’m so . . .
I really want to tell you the words.
I’m sor . . .
I wonder if it would matter to you if I did say–
I’m sorry . . .
Your forgiveness is all that I need, so I need to tell you–
I’m sorry.
The right word at the right time is like precious gold set in silver.
Proverbs 25:11 (CEV)
JUST SAY IT: Why are those little words so hard to say? Practice saying them; then go speak the words to someone who needs to hear them from you.
