Forgiveness

Forgiveness

Hopeful heart beyond,
The tree of life bears thy sins.
Blossoms reviving.

Godspeed Dane. TOUGHEST WORD IN THE BOOK AS…the book says when teaching us to pray. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us, The Lord’s Prayer reads. Not later when anger and hurt subside. Or when they say they are sorry. Not tomorrow or the day after, Or rested and refreshed on a different day. But as we wish to be forgiven, Just as Jesus said we should, And showed us how by doing so Himself, Even AS exhausted agony took him on the cross.

Dane-Ann, let me be the first to comment on this as I find it a very beautiful piece. Few words and very descriptive, it says it all. Keep up the good work ! Your friend, Lightwalker
