Forgiveness

Forgiving is hard for many of us to do
But God forgave me and God forgave you
Forgiveness is a blessing to set your heart free
Letting go of the anger that afflicts all of humanity
This anger has a way of embedding a wall deep within your soul
And these angry thoughts will follow you where ever you will go
It will continue to grow heavy and weigh down upon your heart
This wall will keep you from truly living and being who you are
These burdens overpower you now you feel trapped within this place
You fester in this anger alone and ashamed to show the Lord your face
But the Lord made us each with His own tender loving hands
He asks that we go to Him He will help us to understand
He searches the deepest regions of our hearts
For His will that was sown within us from the very start
His mercy is for all and will be there if only you would ask
He will help you to truly forgive and complete this most important task

Matthew 18;21-35

²¹Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? ²²Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.²³Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.²⁴And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.²⁶The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.²⁷Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt. ²⁸But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.²⁹And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. ³⁰And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt. ³¹So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.³²Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: ³³Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?³⁴And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.³⁵So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
