Recently, I received a call from a peer whom I had not heard from in years. He quickly launched into a rant of anger against an email I had written to others that he received secondhand.
He misunderstood the facts resulting in anger and frustration on both our parts. Later, God reminded me of times my brother and I would fight. My mother would force us to apologize and shake hands.
As a fellow brother in Christ, I needed to clear the air. After the miscommunication was discussed and apologies were made, my peer and I made peace.
In Matthew 6:15, Jesus said, “But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.”
In business, miscommunication can cause hurt, but forgiveness can bring healing.
