Matthew 5:23-24
Therefore if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to your brother; then come and offer your gift.
This does not mean that we have something against another, it's if someone else has something against us. If we have offended another in some way, and we are aware of it. We are to be the first to make a move to resolve the issue, and not wait for the other to come forward.
O my Father, please help us! We have all offended and wounded one another; grant us Your wisdom and discernment and compassion to begin to mend our relationships with one another. Give us Your words to write, text, say to start the process of healing, to invite and inspire the others to begin to reconcile. Please lead us in healing our families in Your church, so we can be a light to the world, displaying Your love and compassion as an example to the lost. And You will receive all the credit, all the glory, because You have designed us to operate and relate to one another in genuine love.
Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
