FORGIVENESS

To truly forgive a deliberate injustice is hard. It is as hard as hell is hot, but hell is just where we are going...if we don't. Now, we of ourselves cannot do this, but through Christ we can do all things. When was the last time you earnestly examined yourself?
FORGIVENESS IS.....


Poem Artwork

F oraging thru the hidden gnarls of  animosity & resentment, it's

O pening bitter doors that creak & groan with stubborn resistance, it's

R eaching ever so deeply into the soul's abyss and

G iving consent for the filth to be cleansed by Calvary's Power, its

I nsistently pressing toward the shining 'prize' of God's light, which

V entilates, thru the Blood, the putridness of hate & leads us to 

E arnestly foster the pardoning of others, it's

N ever denying the task alone would be impossible, it's

E mbellishing His Love's presence and

S avouring the sweet, refreshing waters of 'release', while

S aluting reverently, Our Forgiver & Our Enabler... Jesus Christ.

 

 

Mat 6:14-15, Rom 7:18, Gal 2:20

Another inspiration Joyce. To forgive is to forget, to never bring up the hurt again. I love your writings. May God bless you every day of your life.

So moving, Joyce! If we can not forgive, how can we expect to be forgiven? It does take soul searching and faith. Another inspiring and worthwhile piece! ~Hugs, Elizabeth

Some things not even God can bring Himself to forgive, we can't expect ourselves to be better than Him.

It's a difficult road to walk when you have been hurt badly but when we let God walk with us we will find the comfort needed to overcome and forgive.
God Bless you.
