Laying Down An Offense

The sting of offense 
Is crippling 
To an unrepentive heart
When wounded by a fiery dart
Walls of defense
Built on revenge
Will only pull us apart

We can not take back
Or change what has been done
But we can overcome
Choosing to love the one
Who by all standards
Is unworthy of our love

Laying down an offense 
Is not weakness but strength
Forgiveness and grace
For another’s mistake
Sets the heart free
To receive and live in victory
