"Sorry for being a jerk.."
"Sorry for taking advantage of you..."
"I will respect you.. and protect you.."
"Sorry for not being a man.."
"I'm sorry for the things I did that may have caused you pain.."
"I'm sorry for taking advantage of your weaknesses.."
"I will treat you like a princess because you deserve to be treated like one.."
"Sorry for not fighting for you.. But know na ipaglalaban na kita.. Kahit patayan pa.."
"Wag ka na umiyak.. Kung may panyo lang ako, ipapahiram ko sayo.."
These were some of the words my brothers in church told me today.. And for once in my life, I actually believed these apologies from guys.. Not that I don't believe in men anymore.. It's just that it's either they apologize for all the wrong reasons.. or they don't apologize at all..

And today, it was actually really heart-warming to hear these guys, who don't even have the slightest reasons to apologize to me, apologize in behalf of the men that have hurt me in the past.. Setting their pride aside for a few moments.. coming up with the right words and actually being sincere and genuine.. That actually takes a lot of guts.. *salute to the men in the making*
Iba pala talaga pag narinig mo mismo galing sa bibig ng isang tao ang mga salitang "Sorry" at "Please forgive me".
I've already forgiven these men even though not all of them asked for it.. But hearing those words actually made the forgiveness feel more real.. Right then and there, I saw their faces and heard them say the exact same words.. And that was more than I could wish for.. I may not get the apologies I want from the people I want to hear them from but I am now contented.. If they come, they'll come.. If they don't then they won't..
Thank you Father that nothing is an accident.. and that there really are reasons as to why things happen.. I know that you brought me to where I was a while ago because you wanted me to experience the freedom that came along with the forgiveness I released.. Thank you that you make things fall into place at the right times..
I wish you were there..
Love,
Starfire
