Forgive others as Jesus forgave us Archives - Page 2 of 4

Building Bridges or Barriers?

So build bridges, not barriers;
Choose to love, not to resent;
Walk in love, don’t be aggrieved;
Instead, God’s joy and peace present.

While our God, our Creator;
Has spoken, have we heard?
Sent the Savior, to redeem us;
Guide our ‘Free will’ to His Word.

Be not shaken, when offended;
By God’s grace, we’re so secure;
Recognizing, all are sinners;
So we forgive, thro’ Christ endure.

“Lord, examine and cleanse me;
Search and prove me within;
Try my mind, and my heart;
Do reveal, where I still sin”.

So be like Joseph, with his brothers;
So mistreated, misunderstood;
Despite the deepest of offenses
Forgave, believed God used for good.

So special blessings, on this day
For all the years, with love you spent
Daily investing, in your offspring
From their birth, to the present.
.

Know our call, we are to love
To bless and serve, not withhold
Agape love, that keeps on giving
Without conditions, without control.

And learn daily to forgive
Reflecting God’s love
For His goodness and kindness
Daily depend, from above.

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.
