In my wondrous life on earth, I’d like to make some apologies that were recently brought to my attention.
Ahem,
To the man on the street, I’m sorry for denying you the pocket change I was playing with in my pocket. I saw the hurt in your eyes as I said, “I don’t have any.”
To the student in class, I’m sorry for not listening to your problems that one day when you were begging for help. I obviously had too much to accomplish joking around with the class. I didn’t know how much you were hurting, and now, it’s too late to help, I’m sorry.
To the children in the park, I’m sorry for being brutally mean and unnerving. I know that all you wanted was for me to share my life and tell you stories of what it’s like to be older, but I was too selfish to sit and share. I was too concerned with my own agenda. Forgive me, and learn from my mistakes.
To the acquaintance that became friend, I apologize for abusing the friendship for selfish desires. God has blessed me with you, and all I could do was think of myself in so many scenarios.
To myself, I’m sorry for leaving you in the wrong, for denying you the relationships that your are wired for. I denied you prayer, and I denied you life. I was so wrapped up with selfish desires that I forgot to water you, to nurture you, and because of that, you left me. I noticed that when I looked in the mirror.
To all around me, I’m sorry for ignoring you, for forgetting to serve you. I apologize for not washing your feet at my door, and expecting you to wash mine. I forgot that in a long travel, I need to take care of those around me, and forget about myself.
