Forgiveness

If forgiveness is withheld then bitterness can reign...
And on one's soul leave a darken stain.

Whenever we get a hurt a fire can start to burn in one's heart...
And before you know it that fire can affect one's life in every part.

Do you choose to allow the hurt to turn to hate...
And then walk away and seal your fate?

You can choose to allow that hurt to heal...
And then that tension and anger you will no longer feel.

God hates what evil people do...
And doing what's right is what He wants for me and you.

Delete the experience and then just let it be...
Things will get better, just wait and see.

Great advice! People fail to realize that, when you cling to bad people and memories, the spiritual link stays intact, and the negativity (a living entity) remains with you. Open the door to the tomb, resurrect, and walk away. God and you are a majority of love.
