I Sinned Today

sometimes we slip without even realizing it.

 

Lord, do you forgive me?
I sinned today. I didn’t control
my acid tongue and said untrue
things.   I’m sorry for things I’ve
said, and sorry for what I’ve done.

I gossiped, and this is evil, the devil

Took over words from my mouth,

I wasn’t strong, let him over take me
 and may have hurt someone.

 

The person is a good one, why I was

Cruel, I don’t know, it really isn’t

Like me, at least I’d like to think so.

 

I can blame it on the devil, blame it

On another, but the words from my

mouth were the words that were uttered.

 

So Lord, I sinned today and this I regret

But do you forgive me Lord? I haven’t

heard from you yet.

I am sure he does and the wise see their own faults, the unwise see none.

Yes Mary the Lord forgave you the moment you asked Him to!
because He is faithful to His word, He said confess our sins
and we all sin Mary, He is faithful and just to forgive and to
cleanse us from all sin!

A very sobering reminder for us all Mary, thanks for sharing and
caring!

Love And Prayers
Always!!

In the Bible He is a forging God. In real life He is our hope and inspiration for eternity. By the way, all twelve followers of Jesus sinned so much worse than you! Amen

Mary, as mortals and sinners everyone, we all fall prey to the temptations you reveal here -- only He can and will grant forgiveness -- peace and love my friend -- Jon Michael

I think perhaps only God forgives completely at the same time knowing all.

honest and true verse Mary, here's my take on this, we all make mistakes and sin, so I always figure I'm going to forgive myself if God or no one else does. No use punching yourself in the eye mentally, cheers

I am the recipient of hurt right now... ...if I were to get words such as these, it would be healing for sure. Love and best wishes,

Ah, yes. It's easier to push toothpaste back into the tube than it is to take back words uttered in haste. God forgives you, but what about the person who was hurt? Going to them is the really tough part. Well done, Mary.

to be able to admit and accept that you did wrong is the only thing that really matters. We all make mistakes for we are human and it is our nature but we have the ability to say those two important words..."I'm sorry" and I think the Lord would consider that penance enough.

As a child of GOD, we have an understanding Father, who hears and sees all. He knows our strong points and our failings and loves us no matter what! SC

I feel as if I know you ... even though we have never met in person.
From what I do know of you, you would never hurt someone intentionally -- even now you feel you did and the remorse that comes through is true. As the Lord says .... go and sin no more - you are already forgiven. Susan

We all sin. It's in our nature. However, He won't give us more than we can bear ... an honest, beautiful write, well done.

We all sin; we all come short of the glory of God, as it says in the Word; however, if we repent of our sin, God will forgive us. Well penned, Mary; brava!

We sin because we are human; we make mistakes.

A good poem which remind us to show remorse when we have done something wrong.Thank you for sharing.

Untrue gossip unfortunately happens every day
But each of us knows who we are, or at least we should
We all say things in an angry moment, you aren't the first and you won't be the last
I'm sure forgiveness is on the way
Have a great day

When we sin we are asked by God to repent. This you have done. Gossip has truly destroyed good peoples reputations from which they may never recover from this shadow cast by untrue gossip.
