Acts 8:22- “Repent therefore of this wickedness of yours, and pray to the Lord that, if possible, the intent of your heart may be forgiven you.”
Several years ago, my father went into the hospital for routine heart testing.
Approximately a half-hour into the procedure, the doctor called the family into a conference room and showed us (via computer screen) Dad’s heart. He indicated areas of blockage and asked for permission to place two stents.
Watching on the screen, we saw the stents inserted and the rush of blood into the arteries that had been previously blocked.
What a miracle to witness. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house!
Driving home, I thought about my how I needed a change of heart toward a close friend and an attitude adjustment toward a family member. Continuing to harbor resentment would only lead to further strain (block) those relationships.
I turned to the scriptures, asking God to show me what to do. I found guidance in His Word. Acts 8:22 said I needed to repent of my wrong attitude and ask forgiveness—first of God, and then of them.
It wasn’t easy, but I knew it was right.
When I was obedient to God’s Word, a heavy weight was lifted. Today, our relationships are closer than ever!
