Take the initiative to be reconciled

Morning: Psalms 24, 29; Job 38:1, 18-41; Revelation 18:1-8

Evening: Psalms 8, 84; Matthew 5:21-26

I love the wisdom of today’s Gospel. I also realize that it keeps teaching something hard but central to what it means to be a disciple of Jesus. It is simple and complicated. It’s like this ... If you know someone has something against you, go and be reconciled with them right away. Do not wait for them to make the first move, even though it’s their problem not yours. It’s as simple and as complicated as that. I am grateful for this teaching and also a bit annoyed at myself that I need to keep being reminded of it!
