When we take offense, we are building a wall.
If we don’t forgive, we have no joy at all.
If things offend you, release them at once.
Do not pay head to slights and affronts.
Choose to be free of resentment and grudges.
Do not react to barbs, hints, or “nudges”.
Love and forgiveness will bridge any gap
And keep us from getting caught up in this trap.
The fruit of forgiveness is healing and peace.
And love is the oil of gentle release.
Walk in the joy of forgiveness each day.
Its worth is as gold... God’s love-inspired way.
“And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.”
Ephesians 4:32 KJV
