Three Truths on Forgiveness
It took a fairly long time
finally, my better thoughts began to take hold.
After years of teaching, I came to an insightful truth.
It is okay to admit that your actions were wrong.
Then after more years, I learned
it is okay to share your mistakes with your students.
When parents want to challenge you, it’s okay to talk.
When fellow teachers call you to task on an issue,
admit any errors you’ve made, any mistaken words.
It is not okay to stay wrong.
Then what should be done to rectify those bad choices?
As a Christian, who represents a holy God among unbelievers,
three truths: ask for God's forgiveness; confess your sin
ask folks to forgive you, no matter who, what or when.
offer forgiveness when you have been the victim.
