Forgive as we are forgiven by Jesus Archives - A Doctor's Cure for the Soul

Easily Offended?

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

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

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

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

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

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

And if God so loves each
Forgives, offers salvation
Should we too, not love
Offer others, reconciliation?

So, let us turn and learn
Forgiveness and grace
As Christ, forgives us
Choose His love, to replace.
