Been Offended?

So, each offence forgive
Repent, be reconciled
Be freed from those burdens
Pray God’s love, be recognized.

Broken Relationships (Forgiving & Reconciling)

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

Forgive and Forgo

God has called us to love
With all of our heart
When offenders, then hurt us
To forgive, on our part.

Forgivers or Sufferers?

Since we all get offended
And respond to each other
To forgive or avenge?
God’s love, or we suffer?

An Ark or a Cross?

So, the ark saved in this world
With protection and provision
While Jesus’ cross, offers His life
For both here, and in heaven.

“I Never Knew You”

Yes, are wearing Jesus’ Name
And call themselves Christians
But are not born again
So rebellious, no contrition.

Wanting the Fruit

So let ‘self’ die, be buried
Let His roots, shoot above
Bearing fruit of His Spirit
Thro’ Christ Jesus … His love.

Waiting for Apologies?

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

Two Mounts

Hallelujah, LORD God
Our hearts overflow
While the Law, could not save
Now atonement, all may know.

There is Always a Cost!

For we’re losing our lives
Jesus requires self-denial
Take the way of His cross
‘Tis God’s path for survival.
