How to give a sincere and heartfelt apology is simple … it should not:

 

• Have “but clauses” that places blame and guilt

• Explain away one’s own responsibility in the situation

• Overlook the hurt and pain the issue caused

• Be given without asking for forgiveness

• Exclude an assurance of not recurring   

 

The instructions above are completely necessary for a sincere apology based

its meaning and intention. When we apologize we’re actually:

 

• Showing regret

• Confessing

• Making an admission of guilt

• Asking for forgiveness

• Showing contrition

• Needing to win back favor

• Trying to reconcile or mend

• Showing love and concern

• Pleasing God
