An Apology Can Set You Free

We need to realize
It’s so much better
To apologize
Than it is to blame
And to call someone
An insulting name.
When we criticize
And attack nonstop
We start to despise
Those who disagree.
We shut down our eyes
To God’s love for them
And don’t recognize
Their humanity.
We start to tell lies
About who they are.
Look beyond disguise.
See pain in their eyes.
Let compassion rise.
Go apologize
To someone today.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
