Learning To Forgive

 

There’s always been sin in this world,
We each have done our part.
Yet, there can be forgiveness, too.
If we give Him our heart.
 
He taught us how to offer grace
By giving it to us.
Our sacrifice won’t be as great,
Though we complain and fuss.
 
Sometimes it’s pride, sometimes it’s pain
That leads us to hold back
From giving the grace we’ve received.
His compassion, we lack.
 
Yet, if we offer up our hearts
To Him whose grace we need,
Then we will find we have enough,
Our own grace, to concede.
 
It still amazes me, at times,
How quickly small seeds grow
If they’re the seeds of forgiveness
That He taught us to sow.
 
Colossians 3:13
bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
