DEAR STEVE AND SAMANTHA,
Don’t just leave it at the stage of asking God for forgiveness only, yes! He will forgive you but take it a step further by seeking forgiveness from the people whom you offended too. If you accused people wrongly, lied against them, instigated evil, or behaved badly to people. You must seek their forgiveness. Why? For CLOSURE! Some just want to ask you WHY and that’s it so, don’t hide behind the curtain. Extend that olive branch, if they’re not buying then it would be on record that you tried to plead. It is beautiful when God and man forgive you. The above instruction is scriptural. SHALOM!
