FORGIVEN
I spent my life in turmoil
Futile justification
Vain attempts to validate
My wretched sinful nature
Then
One gleaming moment
A miracle occurred
Lightning bolt of mercy
Precious saving grace
Forgiven
In majestic form
Burning bush split second
Embraced by Jesus Christ
Unconditional love
His radiance
Immaculate
Glowing peace
Profound
Today
I share this blessing
With all who cross my path
Selah
10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
Psalm 46:10 (New International Version)

The Selah is perfect, and if I understand it correctly, it is a pause, not an ending. That makes it so right for this poem, because your state of being "forgiven" does not end here -- your life will continue to glorify God.
God bless you, Brother
