       Meditation, then, on our own personal conduct is a significant part to identifying sin in our lives, confessing it to God, and then seeking to act differently the next time. It is in this way that we improve our lives and become more pleasing to God, more and more like Christ. And if we have realized that we have sinned against another person, it may become necessary for us to go to that person to ask the individual for our forgiveness. Recollect, earlier in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told us, “So if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there before the altar and go. First be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift” (Matthew 5:23, 24, ESV). We are to wait on giving any gifts to God then when we realize that someone has something against us, and first go and try to reconcile with that person. That’s what God wants us to do. If we offer our gift to God while knowing a fellow Christian has something against us, God will not accept our gift and it will not count to our benefit.
