hey james, daz here. im writing this as an apology for my hostile behaviour the last time i saw you. im sorry for any hurtful things i said to you, and any hurtful actions. im also writing this to let you know that you're forgiven, and that you don't need to feel bad or continue to feel bad about anything you said or did to me; i forgive you- but it's not "all good".

that being said, i'm not writing this because of any desire to hang out, nor to retrieve/ return any lost items. don't misinterpret this message as an invitation to "talk" and/or be friends again. i'll continue doing my own thing as you will also. im writing this solely as an apology, and to let you know that i forgive you and do not hold anything against you. this message's purpose is to let you know of your forgiveness, so you may put any guilty or regretful conscience you may have to rest.

the reason that I choose to forgive you and need to tell you is because God calls us to forgive others, just as God has forgiven us.
-matthew 6:14-15-
 "for if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."
-ephesians 4:32-
 "be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you."

Jesus Christ, who is God-in-the-flesh, [john 1:18, john 14:9-10, 2 peter 1:1] forgave us, and paid the ultimate punishment for everything wrong that we (as humankind) ever did, are doing, and will ever do; as well as all the wrong things we have ever thought about doing [colossians 2:13, ephesians 1:13-14, hebrews 10:12-14, 1 samuel 16:7]. Jesus did this by his death on the cross and his ressurection, showing us that despite living a perfect life, he died horrifically in our place to fully pay for the price of our sin and yet continues to live; showing that he has conquered our sin and death itself! so that now if anyone who believes in him will also continue to live after death by accepting and believing the gift of forgiveness that he freely offers that no one deserves nor can attain by their own efforts [john 3:16].

Jesus forgave humanity and all the horrible things we've done by dying for us. if not for that, i'd be going to hell after i die. if he can do that for me, then i can go out of my way to make an effort to let you know that i forgive you, just as God has also forgiven you. if, for any reason, you aren't sure that you have truly accepted God's free gift of salvation and forgiveness and you -want- to be sure, all you need to do is pray and tell him with a sincere and earnest heart that you're sorry for your sin, that you believe that Jesus forgave you by dying on the cross in your place, and are willing to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and saviour. eternal life is that simple!

-1 john 1:9-
"if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

remember, i didn't write this because i want to hang out, talk, be friends, or out of any gain for myself. so please dont ask. im writing this because i want you to know that i forgive you because God forgave me, and that he forgives you as well.

sorry, and thank you for all you've done
