From the movie 'Fireproof''.
It takes humility and commitment to apologise whole-heartedly to someone, especially someone you love. Feeling contrite can come naturally but expressing it is one of the toughest thing to do. Some people even choose to end a relationship than say sorry! A sincere apology and asking for forgiveness will melt away hatred and hard feelings and improve relationships. Why don't we do it more often?
Human beings are strange creatures. We value our pride and ego much more than we should. Is keeping our pride and ego intact really worth the sacrifice of a relationship? I believe a lot of people lost relationships this way. Why can't we eat the humble pie once in a while when it really matters? Jesus Christ is the embodiment of love, humility and forgiveness. For God so loved the world that He sacrificed His only begotten son to die for us so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (John 3:16) and God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we are still sinners, Christ died for us (Roman 5:8). Why would someone go through torture and humilation and die for us when we have proven to be unworthy? Even as Christ took his last breathe on the cross, He said, 'Father, forgive them.' Love conquers all pride and hatred, only if we allow it.
