That quote describes the gift that comes from our instruction, when wrong promptly admit it. (My preference is when. not if, wrong promptly admit it.)
Left to our own thinking, "when wrong" leaves us with the decision of when is it when and not if? That's not personal, that's the human condition.
Most of us just walking around folks sincerely want to do the next right thing. It is, however, really difficult to accept that the next right thing might not be what we have in mind. Face it, you, the other, may be right...more to the point, we may be wrong.
This is the spiritual turning point in relationships, according to me. This is the point where the God of our understanding gives over, gives up, gives in...for the benefit of all. All sides come out the winner...or, God wins again, and we are happy about it.
God's hand is in it when we each lose yet each knows by losing we have won...and that we have been changed for the better.
Thank you.
