Forgiveness of Evil

Forgiveness of evil
By Michelle Morris
15/11/2020

The hurt and anger burn in your soul,
Tearing you apart and keeping you in the hole;
No moving forward whilst you're stuck in the past -
Reliving evil deeds men have forced on your life...

The greatest gift you can receive is to free up your energy, focus on your wellbeing;
Forgive those who wronged you, and
Move on with your life - 
Time to prosper and enjoy the ride...

The hurt and anger no longer waste your time and space,
You're whole and healed by God's loving grace;
For vengeance is His and not ours to pursue,
As we lift our hearts upwards and enjoy the peaceful view...

Thank you, Joanna. It's difficult to let go and let God. But we do free ourselves this way. Enjoy your day and stay safe. :-)

Thank you for sharing your thoughts, Daniel. Forgiveness is a really tough road; especially when it's really undeserved. Stay safe and take care. :-)
