Hey guys,
Here is a recap from last night:
1. Don’t approach the person until you've made a decision to forgive them.
2. You should have an attitude of humility and a desire to reconcile (work things out and restore your relationship). Your friendship to me is important so I really want to work this out. I want you to know what you’ve done that hurts me
3.. Be open-minded. Don’t attack the person with assumptions or accusations. Seek to clarify and find out what really happened and why the person did why they did. Don't assume you know it all or that you're completely right.
4. Remember: often we judge ourselves by our intentions and everyone else by their actions.
5. Pre-determine how you will respond if it goes bad or goes great:
- bad – I love you and forgive you and want to work this out when you’re ready.
- good – it mean a lot if you’d do this the next time.
Here are the three basic steps when you decide to approach them (remember and remind them that you are not there to attack, but rather because you care about the relationship and want to work things out). Tell them:
1. What they did.
2. How it hurt.
3. How we can fix it.
So those are just a few tips. We'll go into more detail later!
Love you guys!
