Forgiveness-Knowing but Not Obeying

No more bitterness nor anger,
Start forgiving and forgetting,
For in Jesus, we’re forgiven,
May we repent, by grace resetting.

And so instead, of our resentment,
Ignore offenses, forgive their views,
Be not bound, by negativity,
Instead in love, share His Good News.

So choosing not, to stay angry;
Rather repent, and to forgive;
Know inner joy, and peace from God;
Obeying Jesus, the way to live!

And so do choose, to be forgiving;
To let go, of negative feelings;
Be replaced by God’s grace;
Let His love, bring in us healing.

So, are we acting out of love?
Or busy judging, criticizing;
Fault-finding, others’ failures;
Is our motive, their sanctifying?

Therefore, child of the King;
Do repent, each hidden sin;
Obey, rid of all bitterness;
Seek His love, filled within.

For He takes, the useless;
What others deplore;
In His Hand, always hope;
From these, brings so much more.

“To love our neighbor, as ourself”;
But if refusing, to forgive them;
“Your Father won’t, forgive your sins”;
So, ask for grace, don’t condemn them!

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

And see beyond, sinful behavior;
Respond, forgiving with God’s love;
Not with our feelings, but His Spirit
Will give grace, from above.
