Forgive

Forgive – scripture speaks Silencing the bitter past, the resentments The anger and doubt, the suffering Forgive – God instructs Delivering mercy, grace, compassion Never judgement or sentence No verdicts of imprisonment Forgive – His word directs Listen to the heart, the Holy Spirit Has everything figured out Listen to the One who teaches souls To believe, to pardon, to excuse Forgive – sacred promise of healing From One who carried His cross Was nailed to the tree God created Where leaves danced and bird’s nestled Never envisaging the shadow, the Darkness that would cover the earth Forgive – He gave us an astonishing sample Reconciling the heart to a God who loves More than our minds can imagine or expect With love that is alive, like the forgiveness Welcoming spiritual restoration, His gift To those who know He is the answer, the One Who lifts the veil and delivers us from hell Forgive – and be blessed by His death and resurrection! Mark 11:25 (KJV) And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
