Sometimes, I look around and think of all the people I've hurt in the past 40 years. I wonder what kind of damage to their lives I've caused, what kind of havoc I've wreaked, whether or not any one even remembers or cares at this point. I don't know.
The sad thing is, I've most likely forgotten more hideous things that I have done to others than most people will ever do their whole lives. Sometimes I remember and get to go back and try to ask forgiveness - "Forgive me for treating you like nothing," or "forgive me for causing you pain." "Forgive me for taking advantage of you," or maybe "forgive me for not caring like I should have."
So, for those out there somewhere I can't recall and for those I've just never had the courage to tell, "I'm sorry. I wish I could change it, but I pray you would be healed and forgive me."
