I must make amends #poetry #God #confess #repent #forgive #prayer #forgiveness #pray

I must soften my heart,
I must change my ways,
I must make amends
for the hurt I have created,
the error of my ways...
 
Yes, I listened to Satan,
to his lies, his whispers to me,
but everything was my choice...
My free-will convicts me,
my actions sent Christ to the cross...
 
I must confess, fully,
every sin I have committed,
I must ask for forgiveness,
for the pain I caused others,
the seeds of hurt I sowed...
 
I forgive all others
for the hurt they cause me
but I must love others
praying for forgiveness
for every have I have caused...
