Keep Short Accounts

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’.

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.

And likewise, our neighbor
To love, as our self
Yet too often, we’re selfish
Serving largely, our self.

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

Instead of commitment
Honoring God, and spouse
We’re caught up, in a culture
Pleasing ‘self’ and our doubts.
