As I rely more and more on God (simultaneous to the time I spend building that relationship-talking to God), I find, as scripture teaches me, that God gives me His wisdom and direction with the right words at the right time along with the needed courage to reconcile with others and to ask for as well as extend, forgiveness with love. Proverbs 16:24 http://net.bible.org/verse.php?book=Pro&chapter=16&verse=24See what God says about "pleasant words" I might add as long as they are real and from the heart.
Consider these thoughts and ponder your motivation as you go to others:
"How can you love someone whom you are a slave to?"
"You can only desire, need, depend, fear and BE CONTROLLED. Love is to be found only in fearlessness and freedom" Words from Anthony de Mello's "The Way To Love"
He says we must experience "freedom from people in order to love them" he also says an antidote to being controlled is to be involved in activities we do totally for the sake of doing them (goal-less I suppose)
