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.

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.

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

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, the ark saved in this world
With protection and provision
While Jesus’ cross, offers His life
For both here, and in heaven.

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