Forgive others as Jesus forgave us Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

RELATIONSHIPS

Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.

So may our hearts, love God and people
God, daily search me, know my heart
Reveal all barriers, or wicked ways
Cleanse, transform me, a new start.

Yes, if we yield to God
Needed grace, He’ll impart.
He can change our perspective
To transform our cold heart.

Yet our forgiveness, depends not
If hurt and pain, if we’re grieved
Nor our feelings, their responses
If apologies, are received.

For each memory and hurt
God is able to take
And turn into strength
For His children that wait.

“If you won’t forgive
God won’t forgive you”.
Strong words from the Master
Yet certain and true.

Yes, give thanks for all
Whate’er life brings
Loudly, praise His Name
He will use everything.

Jesus taught us to love
Not just neighbors, but foes
Yes, to love our enemies
If even cursing…bless those.

So, keep short accounts
Don’t let wounds fester
Learn to quickly forgive
Show love, and live better.

Know hurts to our heart
Must be forgiven
Our pain, and revenge
We’re in our own ‘prison’.
