Forgive

Forgive 

The easiest thing in life to do, 

Is for one not to control their emotion of anger for another, 

We all have done it, 

That comes from within, formed from pride of self, 

Related to one's psychological interpretation of having been offended, 

Wronged or denied and results in a tendency to undo that by retaliation. 

The sin that comes with it, 

Unforgivingness, 

Indifference for another, for it is the result of hurt, 

Concealed deep within, built entirely of hate, extreme dislike for another, 

That becomes the heart felt sting, 

Which creates the scars that covers the wounds, 

And in time builds disbelief in God's Word, the Lord, Jesus Christ. 

Formed within when one allows the deceiver to control the soul and instruct the mind, 

Built of his fear, be it fact or fiction, it is an awful thing to live in or with, 

He will make you hear, see, feel, and believe things that are not there, 

He will in time make you mentally unstable and destroy self from within, 

For another's transgression against you or others, 

The payment of unforgivingness for another! 

The Lord, tells us to pray for those who trespass against us 

And forgive their sins as God has forgiven ours, by His Loving Grace. 

The hardest thing in life to do is to forgive, 

Then bury those emotions and feelings forever 

At the Foot of the Cross, forgiven and forgotten! 

Christ paid the price in love for all sins upon the Cross of Calvary, 

That day long ago, to heal and build all believers within Him. 

"Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Lord, make me like You, cleanse me from the inside out and make me a forgiver and giver,
