I'm reminded of my upbringing how my siblings would get into an arguement or confrontation and be called by our father to say "i'm sorry", then hug and makeup, every time. So it is with Our Heavenly Father when we have a difference with each other or fight verbally, have an "escalated" situation, because we've been wronged, lied on, accused, slandered, deceived, cheated, robbed or etc.
We too often think we can just wrong someone, defame them, betray them or worse and simply whisper to God "i'm sorry".
According to Job Ch 42 We are expected to go to the one we wronged or accused, confess and repent, then be acceptable in the sight of God as is written Matthew 5:23-25
Too many, even as Christians feel it's ok, just tell God to forgive you and skip away like it's no big deal how wrong a thing you have done to someone. It's not ok. True repentance confesses the fault.
God has mercy upon whom He will have mercy and will pardon whom He will, but If we Love Him we won't gamble with the chance that we might "get by" with a simple whisper to God without confessing the terrible thing done or said to someone else.
Everywhere in the Bible where someone wronged another, they suffered terrible consequences, David, Joseph's brothers, Jacob who tricked his brother out of his birthright and lied to his father by pretending to be his brother Esau, married Leah and was tricked into thinking it was Rachel on the wedding day.
We must come clean early, while the one we may have wronged is near enough for us to ask them for forgiveness sincerely, or risk being punished severely or eternally.☮

True Repentance Confesses to God AND Man
THREE WOMEN, THE WATER, THE OIL, AND THE SAND
Think of the King of Kings, Lord over all Lords, Messiah, Savior of the World on Earth speaking to an unmarried woman who lives with her male partner, having conversation during a time when it was forbidden for a woman to communicate with a male stranger without a chaperone. He offered her something better than what she had, and whom she had, the water would again cause her to thirst, the man she had would be no better for her than the last 5.
Jesus didnt condemn her, only brought it to her attention, that she can have something better in life and never thirst/lust again, and be content, and full, and complete, with a better way of living knowing the Messiah. Unlike many today who would shun a displaced woman of shame forced to live on the outskirts of town, and not permitted to draw water from the well with the other women of the city, Jesus spoke to her, offered her everlasting life. John 4:14
Two other women the Lord showed kindness, and forgiveness to unlike how we show people today. Although these kind of women are an "acceptable" group in these modern days due to a liberally sinful society, Our Lord shows how we ought to speak of people we know or suspect have a lifestyle we consider shameful. Jesus treated them with warmth and love which allowed the woman who washed his feet with her tears and dried them with her hair to feel she could at least approach him without accusation, hatred, and rebuke, as many today view certain groups. Luke 7:44-47
The woman caught in adultery as well was treated with forgiveness and protection, as her accusers stood by no more innocent than she was, as Our Lord rebuked the bystanders who stood ready to stone her, until He caused them to consider their own sins first.
John 8:4-10
These days so many with greater sins of their own will rebuke, hate, reject, belittle, and conspire against certain people, but if we learn from Jesus example and how He treats people whom others reject, how He gives them a chance, He speaks no evil of them, but encourages them to be better, expect more, and believe they can live without the bondages of the lust of this world, then we can live in a more peaceful, good-natured society. I like to think of it as "The Water, the Oil, and the Sand" one for cleansing, the other for comfort, and the sand for the covering of sins. Water for salvation, Oil for anointing, and Sand for redemption. Three Women, all shunned, but all forgiven, and loved by The Lord in spite of their accusers. Love covers a multitude of Sins...(yours and theirs) 1st Peter 4:8 💓
