I must forgive for my Father to forgive me
I will forgive for my Father God shall also forgive me
Forgiveness is my creed
Lo, I am sorrowful, I must forgive
Forgiveness is in mine heart
He beating such, aloud passionate
A conscious, deliberate decision to release feelings of resentment
Possible vengeance
Lo, alas I forgive I you
You who, whom a person or group who has harmed me
Regardless of whether they actually deserve your forgiveness.
Unselfish love is the basis for true forgiveness,
Keeping no record of wrongs
Forgiving others always
letting go of resentment and giving up thoughts of repayment
I truly forgive I’m in tolerant,
I am compassionate,
Forgivingness are condone,
I excuse, and pardon. I won’t exact neither punishment nor redress,
I gives up all claims to requital and to resentment
Nor I have vengeful feelings.
I must forgive for my Father to forgive me
I will forgive for my Father God shall also forgive me
Forgiveness is my creed

Thanksgiving
multi colors of leaves on trees
hint of dust in the air a cool breeze
hushed sweet gentle winds
oven roasted turkey and dressing, corn, and mashed potatoes
forgivingness, a blessedness, genuine family coming together despite differences
being just, being thankful
to realize the true meaning of
Thanksgiving

Folks call me, they call me...
Unusual
They make, they make fun of me...
Call me unusual
So unkind,
nothing but hatred and malice on their minds...
Father, Father God;'
Why? you make me odd;
I'm refusing to be ridiculed I reborn...
I'm unusual
They call me funny looking because I don't look like you;
Well, I don't care what you really think;
This is my choice and I choose, to do, I'm
unusual
Folks call me, they call me...
Unusual
They make, they make fun of me...
Call me unusual
So unkind,
nothing but hatred and malice on their minds...
You have no heaven nor hell to put me in;
Don't call me beautiful your not my friend;
While you're back-biting;
And yet I instil a love for you, yes name caller, insulter...
I do yet love you, because of that too makes me unusual;
Because I prise a King His name is this I contain is
Jesus... He makes our day, makes me happy to be this way;
So if forgivingness is wrong on my part
If loving you in your hatred well I guess I am
unusual

Forgiveness
Reopen channels to His harmony,
let honesty emerge, forgivingness…
Reclaim the pathway to eternity.
Though hurt at times and bleeding thoughtlessness,
the steps to understand may ease the pain,
let honesty emerge, forgivingness…
To pacify the soul emotions gain
acceptance, whispering to judge no more
in steps to understand and ease the pain.
Forgiveness paves the way, unlocks the door
with prayer of thanks, lift others to the Lord,
acceptance whispering to judge no more.
An inner peace and calm brings its reward
enlarging faith with love… Forgive. Connect…
Give prayer of thanks, lift others to the Lord.
Let angels guide in roads that intersect.
Reopen channels to His harmony
enlarging faith with love… Forgive. Connect…
Reclaim the pathways to eternity.

You are aimless in your cause
You bow to everyone
You follow the Golden Rule
And the God of Rule
And break them all the time.
You are sorry and sorry
And then you stop saying sorry
And you wander and your wander
And then you stop wandering.
Stop wondering.
Then you run for a hand to find.
You slip, and fall, and climb,
You beg for mercy and beg for forgivingness
Then turn and tag away.
Get a job.
Find a home.
This lovely day.
A burning May.

obstinence, disobedience
and uncompromising minds
a few of the traits that the nation of Israel
responded to God's Kind
they were very self-absorbed
and completely unyielding
ungrateful for the blessings
that God Himself was revealing
even after all that He had done
to remove them from Egypt's slavery hold
they were too impatient to wait
on the promises God had foretold
Our God is a God of second chances,
of mercy and of grace
a God of forgivingness
not concerned about culture or race
come to Him in humility
with a heart contrite and true
come to Him in gratuity
let thanksgiving be in you
It's not just about you
It's about yielding to God's master plan
you're not even in control
your fate is in the Lord God's hands

may you thoughts line up with God's Holy Spirit
repent for all your mistakes and confess that you did it
as humans we are not perfect, yet God understands
He'll grant us forgivingness, a part of His master plan
with God's grace and mercy firmly on our sides
we look to Him for inner strength and let go of our prides
It's time that we look inside ourselves and truly assess what we find
it might not be a pretty picture of the meditation of our minds
break the cycle of guilt and start a brand new day
forgive yourself as God has forgiven you and follow in His way
He gave us righteousness and a blessed love known as God's Kind
allow them to penetrate on the meditation of our minds
seek to comprehend that it won't be a simple task
say yes to what He desires of you and do all that He does ask
with complete trust and a faith that is blind
let the Lord God guide in the meditation of your mind
