Bear With Each Other
Bear With Each Other
“Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.” Col 3:13
Bear With Each Other;
Forgive those who harm.
Harsh words or misdeeds
Require an extended arm.
In the miracle of forgiveness,
Peace attends your soul;
Healing takes hold;
Freedom the goal.
Resentment and hatred
Kill heart, soul and mind;
Destroy the user,
Whose emotions they find.
Ask God for His miracle
To take away this sin.
Replace it with love
And deep peace within.
We cannot forgive—
Impossible for each one.
It takes a miracle from God
To remove the anger and pardon.
When you find it hard
To Bear With Each Other,
Surrender it to God;
With forgiveness He’ll cover.
Bear With Each Other,
Because forgiveness is the key
To a life that is healthy—
Experienced more fully.
There’s no point in resenting,
Or hating your brother.
Let God cover your hatred—
Joy of unity and love to discover.
