Is Forgiveness Weak

To forgive,

does not make you weak,

why forgiveness you not seek?

being strong is defined,

to resist negative sublime,

knowing all,

at one time they fall,

mistakes n' errors in judgment,

they not forsake,

for the healing form takes,

when knowing inside,

your stronger,

in understanding that sometimes,

people make mistakes,

and following GOD's commandment,

for heavens sake.

~*~

"Seek the LORD while he may be found;

call upon him while he is near;

let the wicked forsake his way,

and the unrighteous man his thoughts;

let him return to the LORD,

that he may have compassion on him,

and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon."

Isaiah 55:6-7
