Exhibit AKey Evidence
- In Airborne (1993), the guys who mocked the new kid finally admit, "I guess we just figured you all wrong… I'm really sorry." And he answers, "Hey, it's all right… Don't worry about it."
- That's what a real apology looks like, and real forgiveness too. No speeches, no scorekeeping, just letting it go.

Wrong about someone? Make it right. 🤝
In Airborne (1993), the guys who mocked the new kid finally admit, "I guess we just figured you all wrong… I'm really sorry." And he answers, "Hey, it's all right… Don't worry about it."
That's what a real apology looks like, and real forgiveness too. No speeches, no scorekeeping, just letting it go. Scripture calls us to that very thing: "bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do" (Colossians 3:13 NKJV).
We forgive because we've been forgiven. Who do you need to say sorry to, or who do you need to let off the hook, today?
The light was always there.
