A whole world can be built on the very foundation laid out in these three simple words: “I am sorry.” If we neglect this important step, we can create cracks in the foundation of our forgiving. We may need to utter those magical words many times before they are heard and felt. We may have to say them many times before they are believed. What is important is that we are courageous enough to say them, vulnerable enough to mean them, and humble enough to repeat them as many times as necessary.
