What’s a topic or issue about which you’ve changed your mind?
I am pretty consistent in my beliefs and I stand by them.
Over the past month I haven’t written much. I’ve been struggling with depression. It took everything out of me.
There have been things I’ve said during that time to some people which I regret.
As an Orthodox Christian, we are reminded that the moment we realize we have said or done something that may have hurt another person, we must ask them to forgive us.
It is only by asking another person for forgiveness that we can truly forgive ourselves.
Without forgiveness, communion with God can become quite a struggle.
The one thing I don’t like to do is get to a point in my life when I cannot pray.
This has happened to all of us throughout our lives. A barrier between us and God.
The only way to break that barrier, pick up oneself and continue on our spiritual path is to ask for forgiveness and forgive ourselves.
In doing so we also begin to pray again and we can ask for God to forgive us.
Even when we turn away from God, intentionally or unintentionally, God is always there. He’s always waiting for us to turn to Him and He welcomes us back with open arms.
