Forgiven - 1
Learn to forgive even the one who didn't say they were sorry - forgive from the heart, the soul, the spirit, with a forgiveness that is honest and fills you with assurance that you are giving true love with forgiveness! – Quote by poet
Forgiveness happens when a heart breathes
Light into another’s darkness
Laughter into another’s sorrow
Love into another’s animosity
Forgiveness happens when you struggle
To feel more than faintly aware
Of the kindness that is in your prayers
For the one who made you feel so sad
Forgiveness happens when you write poetry
Through the tears someone caused
And find a way to thank them with your vision
Verses alive and shimmering with inspiration
Forgiveness happens when you long to touch
The naked thoughts of one who hurt you
Leave them flowing with a sense of delight
To remind them that you are always their ally
Forgiveness happens when you love unconditionally
With a love that hopes and believes and dreams
Love that is wise and teaches true faith
In the One who is the model of true mercy
Forgiveness happens when you reach out with faith
That the One inside your heart and soul
Is stronger and wiser than you could even know
And He will guide you to forgive without exception
Forgiveness happens when you know your heart is broken
But you also know your love is worth it – you’re hurting
But you’re bound to give complete absolution to the one
Who hurt you because you know, without a doubt…
That love this strong was inspired by the One
Who forgives more than words can say, more than grace
Can possibly think and more than faith can trace…
Love like this forgives because it knows forgiveness
True forgiveness… is found in the shadow of a cross
A cross at calvary where Jesus paid it all for our
Forgiveness!
