Forgiveness

https://allpoetry.com/contest/2733311-Forgiveness Forging a friendship Hammering out the brass Harboring anger toward man Mixing a chameleon's faces Living a life of anger. Proffering a hand of friendship Writing off all debts Serving man today Smiling eyes in the clouds Sculpting bridges between men. Smiling and shaking hands Mending is the key Serving and building bridges Mending broken paths My life as a soldier. https://allpoetry.com/poem/14745172-Service-by-Chrisbreva1

"mending broken paths"--I'm realizing reading this that forgiveness is our duty and perhaps our life's work... Bravo! Welcome to PoetrySoup :)

That is exactly the message I was trying to convey. Jesus taught us that the extent to which we forgive others is the same extent to which we can expect to be forgiven. This was a powerful message for me to wrap my head (and my heart) around. I want God's forgiveness, but getting it means I have to be just as willing to forgive as He is. Wow!
