The word sorry isnt new to you and me, even a baby learns to say this one word 'sorry'. What troubles me about this word is the fact that a lot of people find it difficult to say sorry.
What is the meaning of Am Sorry
Sorry is the word used for apologies. It can be used to convey empathy and sadness. A sorry is a way to show your feeling of regret and displeasure on an act of yours. It is a confession in front of some one to express how bad you felt by doing or saying bad to the person. But frankly, it has become more of a casual word than a strong, persuasive word now-a-days.
Sorry is the word to express the feeling of guilt and is feeling sad through sympathy with some one else miss fortune, in a poor or pitiful situations, it is a simple word to express a huge pack of emotions. It is literally an expression used to show humility after a bad deed.
According to Gary Hopkins, 'An apology can be a wonderful thing so long as it is infrequent and from the heart. However, beware of the person who justifies bad behavior with apologies. For them it is a means to an end, and quite often at your expense'.
'Sorry' is a bit to plead for forgiveness, does it that people who can't say sorry won't be forgiven? Paul Boese said "Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future". Sorry means to apologize, to apologize means to seek forgiveness for a wrong act. “I’m sorry”, may be the easiest thing to say. But to truly mean it – to feel sorrow and regret and express that in words? That may be the most difficult task.
Admitting you're wrong deals with pride. Humans find it easier to say that they're the ones not at fault and blame it at someone else. Lowering one's pride is not easy for some. Before am sorry comes Acceptance of your fault. We must first accept our sins, shortcomings, before we can then apologize.
King Saul refused to accept his sins and was rejected by God from being king (1 Samuel 15). John 3vs 16 says 'for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten son, whosoever believe the on Him shall be saved' we can be forgiven is we accept our wrong.
The Bible says 'he that covereth his sins will not prosper, but he that accepts (and confess) and forsake them shall obtain mercy' (Prov: 28vs13). Confession is a sign you have accepted your fault and you need a change. We should acknowledge the fact that we are not perfect and accept our fault, then we can now apologize and then receive forgiveness and obtain mercy.
The more your cover your sin the farther you are from mercy, remember he that covert his sins will not prosper.
