Forgiveness - inspired by Sherry "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you." NIV Matthew 6:14 What is this forgiveness that makes one pure? Taught by Christ's death upon a wooden cross A final gift when breath will not endure Last transaction to save a soul that's lost. When one is wronged a true debt must be paid For all things must balance when, at the end A final score is tallied; flesh is laid Into the ground spirits rise or descend. Could it be heavy weight of sin pulls down Where true forgiveness lightens up a soul And makes the difference if we fly or ground Without forgiveness gravity's our pole? But when our spirit's free from debts on earth We fly to stars and galaxies above For ev'ry pull we knew from fleshly dearth Has been released by God's forgiving love? And so forgive and let your soul release So when you die your spirit can find peace. In forgiveness.

Forgiveness costs nothing save pride. Humility is a gift from God to allow us to forgive. This piece rings so true. |

Newell darling boy this is wonderful writing, you never cease to amaze me, without doubt you are a fabulous writer. This is as is usual for you a vibrantly alive piece. You know I absolutely love this don’t you. Utterly utterly perfect. How can you write so consistently well    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

 (smiles) Indeed! I agree with both your poem and with Rob's response, forgiveness is indeed infinite and costs nothing but the heart to ask in your heart, and because he mortgages the origin behind forgiveness, He will always give us the chance to redeem ourselves when we need it the most! (big hugggggssss) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Newell, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |
