Catch and Release

This day as i was eating troubles came my way; i thought of long suffering abuse throughout the day. I thought of saying prayers but fell on patience too; God thus sent His angel dismantled evil's ruse. An Angel came to strike I stand not in His way; lest i be cut and sliced sorrows made my day. Evil left me thence replaced by peace and joy; my neighbours' bad offence in peace the Christ employ. Worried for their lives thou they spake all lies God thus saith forgive my neighbours all at peace. It is "catch and then release," my neighbours now at peace; repeat the sin they do forgive them as a fool. Glory to the Lord His Mercies unto me; thus my daily lot In Christ He sets me free! Amen!

as long as the Lord saith, "seventy seven times seventy seven," which is how many times we must forgive others, so we must obey Him. never mind that they apologise and then sin against us repeatedly; we must keep forgiving as we pray before we sleep (that's what i practice). To please the Lord, means to Love the Lord. Amen! oh, if you're wondering, 77x77 = 5929.
