Forgive and Forget

Should forgiveness be conditional?
When forgiveness seems impossible?


Poem Artwork

He can’t anger me

because He’s not my master

and I won’t let Him do that to me...



My brother’s innocent youth was taken away

because of the monster


Who prayed with


Then preyed upon
Trust given and betrayed


His righteousness concealed the deed
Apologies, forgiveness, restoration is needed.

Regrets, punishment

Now a release from guilt.



Should I love my enemy?

Or seek strength to overcome the harm done?



For now I’ll set my heart at rest

to flush the guilt and shame

to know that God forgave me first

So I should do the same...

Miles,

Aloha. It is hard to forgive those who've sworn to do you harm, who have hurt you in the past. If we cannot forgive our enemies, those who've pained us, how can our Father above forgive us? The pain still lingers, but we must forgive in order to be forgiven. Thank you for penning this heartfelt thought provoker.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Read your bio, wow, world traveler, military veteran: welcome home. :)
