Havin’ A Talk With God

A Podcast Series

E22: The Apology

Thyme

Good Morning, God.

God

Hello, Ms Quinn.

Thyme

Kinda formal this mornin’, huh God …?

God

Perhaps …

Thyme

Yeah, I know.

God

You know what?

Thyme

I owe ya’ an apology.

God

You think so?

Thyme

I know so.

God

Uh huh.

Thyme

I went too far yesterday in funnin’ ya’, an’ wasted our precious time together. I’m sorry, God. I hardly slept last night.

God

Why’s that?

Thyme

I was worried ta’ talk to ya’. Worried ta’ what ya’ might think a’ me.

God

Thyme, I love you, and that’s all there is to it.

Thyme

Does that mean I’m forgiven?

God

Nothing to forgive. You understood the truth of the moment the minute I left you yesterday. If there was any forgiveness to be given, it happened then.

Thyme

You mean I wasted all ma’ time worryin’ all yesterday an’ last night?

God

You might say that. Forgiveness only happens truly when there’s nothing to forgive. You realized the error of your ways yesterday when I left and swore to yourself that you wouldn’t be goin’ down that road again. So what’s to forgive?

Thyme

Well, I guess that’s a most interestin’ way a’ lookin’ at it. Um huh. Makes a lotta sense.

God

Makes a lotta sense cuz it’s the truth, Thyme. Real forgiveness comes with the complete healing of the problem … and not until.

Thyme

Yeah, a lot a’ us humans forgive, but can’t really go all the way with it, cuz it still sticks in their craw. We say they forgive, but we really don’t.

God

You don’t because there’s still something to forgive. The original problem hasn’t been healed yet so there’s still a lack of complete understanding between both parties. Fix the problem and all is forgiver. Don’t spend all your time tryin’ to forgive. Instead, work on fixing’ the problem.

Thyme

Well, I guess I’ve had ma’ lesson in forgiveness this mornin’, huh?

God

Uh huh.

Thyme

I’m glad ta’ be back in yer good graces.

God

Thyme, ya’ never left.

Thyme

Well, let’s jus’ say I was headed fer the door.

God

Well put.

Thyme

Well, anyway, I’m sorry.

God

You’re forgiven.
