Devotionals - Five minutes at the pump

Fuel-stop devotionals.

Written to be read in the time it takes to fill two tanks. A new one every day, drawn from a year's worth of readings — scripture, a thought to chew on, and a prayer.

The Gift of an ApologyMatthew 5:23-24
No. 82
If you are offering your gift at the altar and remember that your brother or sister has something against you, go and be reconciled.Matthew 5:23-24

Jesus was serious about reconciliation — serious enough to say it matters more than religious ritual. A genuine apology is one of the most powerful gifts you can give someone. It costs pride and buys peace.

Reflect

Is there someone you owe an apology to? Don't wait for the perfect moment. Go first.

Prayer

Lord, give me the humility to apologize well — not to make myself feel better, but to restore what was broken. Amen.
