WITH FORGIVENESS BRINGS LIGHT...

Emptiness and darkness  looms heavily from a shattered heart that is broken..
Words tore through my being , deep  into my spirit, I am forsaken...

My soul weeps from my  spirit that has been torn and rendered helpless..
Sickened by deliberate words waiting to ambush and rendered the mind helpless..

My soul, my spirit, my heart all cry with tears of regret and sorrow..
 I pondered  the thoughtless utterances that fell deep inside to burrow ..

 The words they  fester, are deep and rotten, brought  forth, they were unkind..
They were like a volcano that bubbled, then spues and  finally erupts in  time..

The words are now unburdened, meant to maim, to destroy..
Have left an indelible torturous scar that was never there before..

I do not live by a rule that you feel I should live by..
Therefore I dismiss the carnage of this, your  perpetual lie..

So continue NOT your war that you have brought about by hatred..
Instead I pray that deep within  your soul, you will redeem that which is sacred..

No my dear,  I shall forgive you for what you have done from this day forward..
Forgiveness  heals my wound and tends to my broken heart, though altered..

We may never be the same for what has taken place and transpired ..
I have been shaken to my core with all  you have dealt and conspired..

But God said this...
Matthew 6:14-15
For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.  But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
