Forgive and Forgo

God has called us to love
With all of our heart
When offenders, then hurt us
To forgive, on our part.

Since we all get offended
And respond to each other
To forgive or avenge?
God’s love, or we suffer?

Let us listen, and learn
Our true purpose, commitment
The end of the matter
To seek God, for fulfillment.

Not those verses from childhood
Nor the sermon last week
But fresh manna from heaven
The LORD, daily do seek.

Despite her failures, abuses
Rejection of their Messiah
Our God watches, over Israel
They will know Him, states Zachariah.

Are we willing to wait
In the darkness, no light?
No hope, but the LORD
Know in you, He delights.

So do pray, that our hearts
Remain steadfast, unmoved
Walk by faith, not feelings
In Christ, wholly approved.

In the midst of the night
When darkness, seems greatest
Know light, shines the brightest
So be strongest and bravest.

With our spirit made live
Daily trust Him, He supplies
We find then, complete fulfilment
In the LORD God, Most High.

For behind all the bloodshed
A spiritual war, deploys
With dark forces of evil
Seek God’s chosen, to destroy.
