And To Forgive Us Our Debts

OH! Our righteous and holy Lord God Almighty!
How it is true that most of your people belonging
To you? Know the portion of Your prayer when
You instruct us to forgive us our debts as
We forgive our debtors!

Dearest Lord Jesus Christ! But first we must learn 
How to forgive Ourselves! Which of course is much 
Easier said than done! However I first discovered
Dearest Beloved Lord Jesus Christ! A fatal flaw
Within my inner most being!

At first I had To discover how to forgive You! For
The vast Majority of my life, I have boldly blamed 
You for all of my problems! Quiet naturally I had
What is commonly referred to as The Why Me
Lord? Very bad attitude for all my problems!

When I stopped blaming You I started blaming
Satan! Just like Flip Wilson, "the Devil made me
Do it!" Even when according to my deceased
Mother, Eleanor May Dubarry, told me I was my 
Own worse enemy!

Of course I played the blame game and blamed
Other people for all of my problems. Rather
Than accepting and taking the responsibility for
My own problems in life! Like so many others 
I grew increasingly tired of being my own burden

Bearer! And like so many other Christians I learned
To accept Jesus Christ as my burden bearer for my
Sins. Discovering His yoke was easy and His burden
Was light. I felt a huge burden was being lifted off
Of my chest and off of my heart, soul and mind!

In essence it is only when we first learn how to forgive
Us our own debts, that we become free, to forgive
Other's their own debts. And once that is accomplish
In the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ! We are
Freely reborn indeed! And we can give others our

Freedoms In Christ Jesus to other people in our daily 
Lives! In order to love one another as Christ has
Loved us! We must first become willing to forgive them
Their debts against us! And it can result in their abilities
To have them forgive us and love us an accept us! As

We all go forward in the strength and the knowledge of
Our blessed hope and Savior in Jesus Christ! The only
Begotten Son of our wonderful Dear Heavenly Father,
Who has the tender heart, of all mothers towards their
Children. The blessings of forgiveness can become

Generational and passed on to future generations!
Children and adults both learn what we live! If we
Learn just how much Jesus Christ loves us? We
Will to take His merciful forgiveness and pass it on
Every where we may go and everyone we may know!

Love in Christ Jesus!
