God is the author of Reconciliation. To reconcile is to destroy the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility between two parties. Anyone who works out reconciliation is a friend of God.
Anyone who destroys relationships is not a friend of God. Forgiveness is the price to pay for reconciliation to take place. The greatest work of reconciliation ever done was God reconciling man to Himself (John 3:16).
The work of reconciliation has now been given to man (2Cor.5: 18, 19). Reconciliation:

Reconciliation is a key pillar of covenant relationships.
Reconciliation draws nations to Christ (John 13:34, 35). Reconciliation invites God’s blessings (Psa. 133). Broken relationships are open doors for the devil, diseases, discouragement, wars, and confusion to take place. Unresolved grudges don’t just go away – they need resolution.
Unresolved grudges can affect the destinies of individuals, families, churches, organizations, careers, businesses, cities, Nations etc.
Jacob sought Esau his twin brother and their reconciliation was a blessing (Gen. 33). Reconciliation is possible today through the power of the Holy Spirit.
