Forgiveness Heals

Unforgiveness builds a wall
And clouds perception with it's "pall".
It is as a painful thorn
To all by whom it's weight is borne.

Unforgiveness grows and grows,
And seeds of discord often sows,
Causing pain and robbing joy.
Relationship it can destroy.

Let forgiveness be the rule.
It is as a precious jewel,
Allowing healing to begin,
Bringing joy and peace within.

"Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing one another and forgiving one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye."
Colossians 3:13-14 KJV
