Youths and the Power of Saying I Am Sorry

As a youth, single or dating, you must understand that when you say I am sorry, you are not defending yourself. You are not explaining your weakness. You are not just trying to calm the atmosphere. You are admitting that your action hurt someone and you have no excuse for it. Many young people struggle here because pride whispers that admitting wrong reduces their value. But true maturity begins the day you stop protecting your ego and start protecting the heart of the person you claim to care about. Saying I am sorry means you value the relationship more than your need to be right.

In relationships, especially while dating, misunderstandings will happen. Words will be spoken carelessly. Assumptions will be made. Emotions will rise. What separates a healthy relationship from a toxic one is not the absence of mistakes but the presence of accountability. When you say I am sorry without adding but you also did this, you are choosing growth. You are saying I see the pain I caused and I take responsibility. That kind of humility builds trust. It makes the other person feel safe with you.

Scripture reminds us in James 5:16 that we should confess our faults to one another and pray for one another so that we may be healed. Healing in relationships begins where excuses end. As a young person discovering purpose, you must learn that your destiny is not only shaped by your gifts but also by your character. The ability to apologize sincerely is part of emotional and spiritual maturity. It shows that you are teachable, accountable, and ready for something deeper than surface attraction.

If you are single, practice this now in your friendships and family relationships. If you are dating, let your apology be specific and sincere. Do not say I am sorry just to keep the person. Say it because you understand the weight of your words and actions. Your future marriage is being prepared in your current responses. When you learn to say I am sorry without excuse, you are not becoming weak. You are becoming whole.

My First Love - Part 3

God put Adam into a deep sleep, took his rib and MADE the woman. God had to put the man in a deep sleep because God respected the privacy of the lady. No human knows every thing about your life because when God MADE you, it was just you and God alone. As a lady, I want you to know that God MADE you.
