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

Hurts to our Heart

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

And if God so loves each
Forgives, offers salvation
Should we too, not love
Offer others, reconciliation?

So, let us turn and learn
Forgiveness and grace
As Christ, forgives us
Choose His love, to replace.

Forgiveness depends
Not on the offender
They may have done wrong
Jesus tells us, be a forgiver.

While Jesus, showed love
Forgiveness, not hate
Building bridges, not walls
To unite, not separate.

For hearts have so hardened
Forgiveness, forgotten
Love, is so lacking
God’s truths, downtrodden.

‘Feed your enemy, if hungry
And if thirsty, water too
Heap coals of fire, on his head
The LORD, will reward you’.

Do learn to forgive
So you can forsake
Lest you carry hurts
Resentments, heartache.
