The Reconciliation Roadmap is a tool from my upcoming devotional, Healing through Belonging. Reconciliation is a characteristic that we can embody through the Holy Spirit. Believers are called to be “Ministers of Reconciliation” (2 Corin. 5:18-19). We are able to reconcile relationships because we have been reconciled back to God. Jesus died on the cross for our sins, so we no longer separated from Him. Jesus was the ultimate minister of reconciliation. Through the Holy Spirit, we are able to forgive others, and we are able to renew our relationships with people. We will not be able to reconcile every relationship. However, we can become ministers of reconciliation. Reconciliation begins with us and our hearts and minds. The exercise below will help you identify how you can become someone who reconciles relationships. We must first recognize our personal set backs in relation to relationships.
