There are seven signs that indicate
the offender is genuinely repentant:
- Accepts full responsibility for his
or her actions. (Instead of: "Since you think I've done something wrong .
. ." or "If have done anything to offend you . . .")
- Welcomes accountability from others.
- Does not continue in the hurtful behavior or anything associated with it.
- Does not have a defensive attitude
about being in the wrong.
- Does not dismiss or
downplay the hurtful behavior.
- Does not resent doubts about their
sincerity or the need to demonstrate sincerity--especially in cases involving
repeated offenses.
- Makes restitution where necessary.
