Have You Forgiven Those Who Offend You

Have You Forgiven Those Who Offend You???

Someone offended you.  Have you forgiven them?
Or do you wish that someone “gets rid of them?”

Too often, actions speak much louder than words.
You may think this is ridiculous and absurd?

The choices you make have an eternal effect.
The offenses toward you, you must forget!

You’ll find in First Corinthians chapter thirteen…
The plan of God’s love takes care of everything!

Many have said; “I don’t want anything to with him.”
They’ll do anything they can to avoid him.

If you’re rushing to do this, count the cost!
Let go of this, and lay it at the cross!

Time is short!  Forgive and please 
don’t wait!
We may be gone tomorrow, 
for heaven’s sake!
