Forgiveness is a soothing balm
Which heals the heart and brings sweet calm,
Freeing us from needless tension,
Filling us with love's dimension.
How much better to forgive,
A blessed way in which to live.
It leaves no room for grudge or ire.
Peace and love it will inspire.
"Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it (it pays no attention to a suffered wrong)."
I Corinthians 13:5 Amplified Bible
