Be reconciled

“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift." ~Matthew 5:23-24

 I'll confess that I've always read this passage and thought about people who have wronged me... But it says if someone "has something against you" -- It's not if I have something against my brother... as a believer, I am to forgive... what I believe is being addressed here is if I have in someway offended or hurt someone else. 

Today I'm headed to my HS Reunion, as well as visiting with some family. My prayer is this:

Lord, please bring to mind anything I need to apologize for and help me to reconcile the relationship... and, as you work in and through me, to reconcile others to yourself.
