This is a real stand up and take notice piece and I imagine 99.9% of us can relate. Thank God for forgiveness, makes living with oneself a whole lot easier, that's for sure. |

I'm sure God did not see you in the pathetic way you saw yourself. Wonderful that he can fix us up so we like ourselves. Joyce |

I really think that forgiveness is the greatest virtue, greatest happening, greatest gift that has ever been created. What a wonderful way to put it!  Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you.--Jesus Christ |

I like how you presented your poem here. Very nice. Your poem reminds me of a couple of important things. First, that my own righteousness is as filthy rags before my GOD. Second, I am reminded here of the Prodigal when he returns home to his Father and immediately the Father tells the servants to go and get the very Best robe and place it upon his Son. GOD truly does lift us up when we come to Him. He really does have the very best for us. (Amen) Again, very nice poetry. -Bob |
