Forgiveness



I will not take your guilt 
with me when I leave this place. 

I will not carry it 

in my heart 
or 
on my back 
or 
on my face. 

I forgive. 
I will forgive. 
I am forgiving. 

I will say it 
a thousand times 
and then once more. 

I will lay it down.

I will let it go. 

It is not mine.

I will not take it with me.

And you...

Will you leave mine here as well?

  1. A very good word Sandi, even seeing the word Forgiveness, it makes a softer place in our hearts. A word that we could all say more often!! I like the typeface you used, it gives it an urgency. Jesus says to forgive not 7 but 77 times, and the more we forgive the better!! Blessings and Love to you!

  3. Forgiveness, yes, if one asks for it, otherwise I don't see the point in forgiving someone who has probably done me wrong and gets away with it. His guilt is his problem, not mine.

  6. I find forgiveness easy when I realize it is not a war with flesh and blood that I am encountering, but it is Spiritual warfare. If I don't forgive others then God won't forgive me. However scripture also says there is a time to hate, which I still believe is the spirit within the whosoever and not the person.
