Poem Title:
Poem
Let my offender have full remorse as he watches his own daughter grow. Let her never know what he did to me. Let sorrow pierce his heart like an arrow. Let the Lord soothe the wound and chasten him with the scar. Let repentance pour out. Let forgiveness overflow. Let his heart be humble to learn the fullness of a father's love. Lord, lift his sin burden like a raven in flight, then let a dove descend. Let him protect his daughter from the man he once was. Let him not live in fear of her violation by his or another's hands. Let her purity be preserved. Let his wickedness be ravished by mercy and truth.* Let his heart not regard the sins of his youth.* Let him receive forgiveness plenty, just as God, for Christ's sake has forgiven me,* and I reap the blessings. Let him be blessed, too.* Let innocence be restored, and let us esteem the name of the Lord. Let my offender praise purity and be a passionate advocate for the vulnerable and abused. Let his wife be blessed by his new life. If he chooses to confess, let her forgive and have a heart of compassion and trust, discarding anger and disgust. Let repentance pour out. Let forgiveness overflow. Let the cycle of sin discontinue. Let their intimacy be exceedingly better than what he sought wrongfully. Let him wonder how the offended was affected. Let him pray that she will fully forgive, not harboring any hint of bitterness. Give him peace, knowing that by God's grace, their wounds will heal.* *Proverbs 6:6 By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil. *Psalm 25:7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness' sake, O LORD. *Ephesians 4:32 32 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. *Luke 6:28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. *Psalm 147:3 He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. 12/7/19
