Forgiveness 2
F reedom has been granted to the offender
O ffended ones receive fresh freedoms within
R eigns of guilt and self-accusing have ended
G race has pardoned, covered, and cast away the offence
I, the offender, is liberated; I, the offended cease deliberating
V ictors who desist from holding on, are now enabled to move on
E levated to new positions of victory, forgivers sit on thrones of love
N ew normal of grace fills the empty spaces
E nemies lurking within me are then obliterated
S ins of bitterness, resentment, and revenge are gone
Salvation and a heavenly satisfaction have now arrived
