The Reparation: Made Amends | John Scott

The fastest way to wreck an apology is to make it about relief for me instead of healing for you. We wrestle with a hard truth that stops a lot of spiritual growth in its tracks: the line to God runs through the person you hurt. When we avoid the damage we caused, we do not stay neutral, we grow a “bitter root” that leaks into new relationships, new churches, and new seasons of life.
