Letting Go

We all know we are supposed to forgive
This is a command from the Lord
Regardless of our feelings
We are supposed to forgive immediately

Even when we finally learn to be quick in our forgiveness
We often are much slower in our process of letting go
The hurt in us wants secure justice for ourselves for a loved one
We think we know best how to handle making things right, or fair

But trusting the Lord means that we release all outcomes into His hands
Believe that He will set things right
In H we hold bitterness, or take justice in our own hands
We remain a prisoner to the person or situation that is the origin of paining go
Letting Eternal God take care of things (take care of us) will truly set us free
