Forgive

Forgive

Forgive? Forgive you say?

But he hurt me!

She was wrong!

I will not forgive! I would rather get even!

Forgive! It will be a cold day in ...

Oh!

Maybe I could forgive once

But I was off ended twice!

Three times and my rage will be turned loose.

I am right to be angry!!!

Seven times maybe.

Seventy times seven you say!

But I was so hurt!

He should pay!

What? You already paid? You paid His price?

You took on his sin?

And mine?

Then if I forgive him ---I am forgiving the sin

For which You paid!

It is like I was forgiving You? And if I forgive him not?

Do I make you suffer more?

As you love - So I should love

As you have forgiven - So I should forgive.

As you have mercy - So should I!

Lord change my heart!!!
