judging inward – v6

Judging inward only

our own selves,

To refine, to conform,

our walk in this life.

Love only, mercy,

for everyone else;

We are to judge inwardly

only ourselves.

Freed of this pain – v2

For the forgiver

the act of forgiving

forgiveness frees them of pain

the weight that they carry

burdening their life

freed of this pain

the weight they carried

giving the hurt to God

forgiving their neighbor

freeing themselves.

the lesson of forgiveness – v2

a daily struggle

in real-life living

not candy-coated

where the rubber hits the road

the lesson of forgiveness

real, life-changing,

in the words of Christ

in repeating parables

we must forgive without ceasing

agape love, as He had,

borne out, written,

in His words on the cross

if Christ could pray for us

dying to save us

the words indelible

written in His blood

“Father, forgive them,

forgive all of them,

they know not what they do”,

so true, for all of us, throughout time

the lesson of forgiveness

real, life-changing,

in words of scripture

in the life of Christ.

seventy times seven – 2 – v2

we must forgive our neighbor

seventy times seven

not an infinite number

but it might as well be

a challenge for most of us

to do what Christ said

we are to forgive

without ceasing

love over all

not seeking revenge

seventy times seven

a challenge to this hot head

these words spoken

to Peter, the Rock,

a challenge to each of us

so fully human

to truly love our neighbors

as Christ loves us.

seventy times seven - 2

seventy times seven

an infinite number

we are to forgive

without ceasing

love over all

not seeking revenge

seventy times seven

a challenge to this hot head

these words spoken

to Peter, the rock,

a challenge to us

so fully human

to truly love our neighbors

as Christ loves us.

judging inward

our own selves

love only

judging inward

only ourselves.

in going where God led them – v2

trusting God’s power

following the fire, the clouds,

in going where God led them

the sea was parted

the impossible came to pass

a way was made for them

by the hand of God

the miraculous occurred

the sea floor a path

dry ground below them

in going where God led them

His people were freed at last.

I give to God my hurt

I give to God my hurt

no longer holding onto my anger

forgiving all who have harmed me

leaving to God judgment,

consequence, all retribution.

I renounce violence

hidden within my heart

I leave that to God.

I praise God for His grace

I exalt God for His mercy

heaped on me abundantly.

I mourn for the judgment

on the others, and on myself,

who continue in their sin

I pray for their turning

that we would all walk closer to God.
