Poem
Everyone says no It is not to be so Down that road you are not to go For it will only be paved with pain and woe Everyone seeming to know what's best Rantings and ravings leaving no time for rest Patience and respect being put to the test Indifference and lack of trust lead to a life with no zest A life once ruled by arrogance and pride In him is now hope and does the saviour abide A rumor falsely started can make you want to hide And lead you to think twice about in whom you can confide No life is not writtled with regrets from the past And yet the first stone people are all to willing to cast A sinless life can no human make last Like a ship in a storm with a broken mast If Jesus is Lord and in your heart does he live Why do people find it so hard to forgive For the Son of God came to earth and did live And for ALL of mankind his life he was willing to give If to him you have given all of your heart And your old life you are willing to depart He will lift you up and set you apart And give unto you a new start I wrote this for a friend of mine that i grew up with. He moved away for a few years, and lived a rather trouble filled life in that time. Recently, he has come back and has asked Jesus to be his Saviour and Lord of his life. He is a changed man, however people still refuse to see him for the man he is now rather than the person he was before. I understand that sin not only leaves you with scares but also on those around you, and sometimes it is hard to forgive and forget; However, that is what we as christians should do. We are to not hold somebodys past above their head and begrudge a person the forgiveness that they so desperately wish for. We need to leave judgement in the hands of the True Judge.
