REACH 6.4 ❍ When Did You Need Forgiving?

Think back to a time when you hurt someone or did something wrong, needed forgiveness, and were granted forgiveness. What matters is that you did something wrong and felt badly about it— and you were forgiven.

• Write a description of the event.
• Write a few notes in response to the following questions: 

1. What did it feel like to be in trouble, to lose respect from others or yourself, and to need forgiveness? (Did you feel this, even though no one was “making” you feel guilty?)
2. What did it feel like (or would have felt like) when you asked for forgiveness from the person you hurt and you received it? Were you humbled?
