Hello Friends,
I would suppose when one thinks of the word atonement they think of something that requires a spiritual experience. Rather I tend to think of it in terms of what is required to make something right; in essence whole again. What I mean by that, is knowing when nothing else comes to our heart and mind, we must simply ask the other person what is needed. We are at loss to figure it out ourselves.
Perhaps it's because we know we disappointed them, or as importantly, we know we just didn't live up to the expectations they had of us; either way atonement means making it right. What I have come to know with certainty is we can never take for granted those we hurt. Rather, it is being in tune to the signals and messages, that allows us to constantly readjust. In the end sometimes all we have is asking for forgiveness, and as importantly, forgiving ourselves in the process. Until next time...
