Forgiveness

It's a divine quality. It demands inner stasis Iron-hard mind, petrified with pessimism, is altered Ego gives way; generous grace cells form a fine basis. Inauspicious elements of selfishness get faltered As from freshly transplanted seedlings, there's transformation Noble feelings, attitudes, and behaviours, like spring, thrive. Resentment giving way to kindness, there's new creation Elevated needs and enhanced optimism are alive Sows hope-filled seeds of the future, decreasing depression Like new wine in a new skin, angles of outlook alter Repentance, reconciliation, and restoration Lead to restitution and redemption with no falter. Soul, like jubilant birds in the blue sky, is exultant Within, divine graces, like flooding rivers, are abundant.

powerful and wise words. I agree...forgiveness is a divine quality that demands inner stasis. How beautifully said. The masses tend to devalue the power of forgiveness, yet Jesus was the perfect example of the beauty of doing so. Outstanding job...Have a great evening, Sara
