Loveless or Loving?

Instead, Jesus commands us
To love, even our foe
So live not, based on feelings
Obey Jesus, and grow.

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?

Waiting for Apologies?

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

The Cup, the Cross, the Crown

So, do drink your cup
Trust God, and obey
He is with you, midst sufferings
Know He’s present, always.

The Cost of Salvation

Yet, He bids us to follow
We must take up, our cross
Abide in Him daily
Count all things as loss.

Still Resentful?

So instead of your resentments
Repent, come seek His light
Washed clean, of all your sin
Be now forgiven, in Christ.

Love Your Enemies

Jesus taught us to love
Not just neighbors, but foes
Yes, to love our enemies
If even cursing…bless those.
