Forgiveness At Work

Midst our covenant of trust and fidelity I succumbed to luring temptation’s delight As a faith-traitor, flirting with world’s enmity Oblivious of my vow to love GOD fully right. Guilty was I of betraying my Redeemer Grieving Him, I confessed as an evil conniver… Faithful*, He pardoned, drawing me to Him closer. Meanwhile, in the trial court I stood as scam-victim Facing the culprits, my trusted friends, in pain’s grim Since they fooled our contract by their deceitful whim. Struggling hard to accept their “sorry” with pity I agonized bearing load of my justice-plight Thus, I prayed to be a true “forgiveness-giver” Grateful to God that I received His grace to the brim! *1John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
