Harboring or Healing Grievances?

So be like Joseph, with his brothers;
So mistreated, misunderstood;
Despite the deepest of offenses
Forgave, believed God used for good.

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.

Forgiveness

Forgiveness depends
Not on the offender
They may have done wrong
Jesus tells us, be a forgiver.

Forgiveness or Feelings

While Jesus, showed love
Forgiveness, not hate
Building bridges, not walls
To unite, not separate.
