When we make amends, we are making amends inside of ourselves

Self-forgiveness and self-compassion first, then we can open our hearts to others,

without demands and requirements.

My task is to be free from my judgments, reactions,

and the false belief that I am not good enough.

This is self-loving.

There is nothing to forgive outside of ourselves.

If someone makes amends to me, I can hear it and say, “Thank you.”

It’s not about me. They are mending from within when they ask for forgiveness.

What I do with their amends becomes my issue.

I have amends to make in my own heart.

They have been a faithful mirror.
