Listen... forgiveness is going to be a part of your life.  In fact, thats the primary vehicle to Jesus' business: Reconcilation.  In sin, the slave (Onesimus), ran away from his master (Philemon), met man who already met Jesus (Paul), was introduced to the man who could forgive his sins (Jesus), and probably thought 'life is good'.  But walking in a right relationship with God is more than warm fuzzys or smiley days, it's about reconciliation.  Jesus reconciles our relationship to God, and thus, we must ask for forgiveness from those we wronged and reconcile our relationships here on earth.

Have you had a reconciliation experience which you can share?
