Ignore Offenses…Release Resentments

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

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.

Loving or Snubbing?

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.

Addressing Leaven (How did Jesus love hypocrites?)

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

A Bruised Reed and Smoking Flax?                              

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

When Disrespected and Rejected

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

My Weakness for His Strength

For His grace is sufficient,
His strength perfected, in my weakness,
Will gladly boast, in my infirmities,
Christ’s power rest, on me in meekness.

Easily Offended?

And know, that these hurts
In your heart, cause resentment
So, ensure you forgive
Claim His forgiveness, be repentant.

RELATIONSHIPS

Cease expectations from the other
That we long, they will provide
Our deeper needs, seek from God
So, bear His fruit, in Him abide.

Relationships and Our Heart

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.
