"I am sending him back."
Philemon 12a
Onesimus had wronged his master, and now he needed to make it right. So Paul sent him back to face the music. Being forgiven by God does not eliminate the need to make amends for past wrongs. It may involve making restitution, facing a the judge for civil crimes, or just asking forgiveness. It is difficult to go back, but it is necessary in order to have a clear conscience. Whatever the cost, being at peace with the past is a requisite for living in freedom today.
Today's Thought: Living at peace today requires making peace with the past.
Have a "clear" day. Love you.
