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.

Two Mounts

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

The Unworthy

Such love, cost Him all
Now, God counts us worthy
Exchanging His Son
For the sinful, unworthy.

 Self or the Savior?

Instead, self becomes center
Instead of Christ
Our thinking, our deciding
Self-fulfilment, our prize.

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.
