Zacchaeus didn’t just feel bad about his past; he took out his checkbook. He made direct amends. Recovery is more than just saying “I’m sorry.” It’s about restoring what we broke. If we stole trust, we rebuild it with consistency. If we stole time, we give it back with service. We don’t create committees or complex plans; we simply take action to repair the damage. Real repentance changes how we live today, not just how we feel about yesterday. |
