Poem
Have you ever done something bad, That really hurt someone you love, Or has someone ever done something bad, That really hurt you, And no matter how much you or they apologize, The pain just doesn’t seem to go anywhere? Do you find yourself holding on, To a pain that in your heart, is inexcusable? And even though the offender has promised, To make things better and prove their worth, You know deep down, You’re not over the pain that was caused? Think of it this way. If you are still holding onto anger, bitterness, resentment, Any kind of negativity…. You’re NOT showing that you want to heal, You’re showing that the person who did harm unto you…. Has CONTROL over your emotions…. You’re showing that you would rather live in the past, Than in the present…. You’re showing that by holding onto anger and hatred…. You are hurting someone, and it’s NOT the offender…. It’s YOURSELF! And every time you have a talk, Bringing up the pain that has settled in your heart, You’re not hurting anyone but yourself. The longer you walk around with it in your heart, The more you’re hurting yourself. The more you speak of the anger, the bitterness, the resentment…. The more you’re hurting yourself. Ask yourself this…. What if GOD held anger in His heart, For the things we have done wrong? What if He spoke about how angry He is? What if He spoke about how even though He forgave us…. He would STILL throw our wrongdoings in our faces daily? What we, as children of God, have to remember…. Is that He takes ALL, not some, ALL of our iniquities, All of our wrongdoings, all of our mistakes, ALL of our dirty deeds, Places them under His holy foot, and casts them into the sea of forgetfulness! It’s in His word, that He WILL forgive us our trespasses…. So, if God can take our wrongdoings, forgive us, and toss them away, WHY CAN’T WE DO THE SAME? We can’t call ourselves loving the Lord, but hold onto anger. You can’t be an angry Christian. You can’t be holy, and be filled with hatred. If God can forgive us, and not throw what we’ve done in our faces, Then we should be able to do the same for one another…. “He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” (Micah 7: 19)
