WHICH I MUST IF I AM TO CONTINUE TO LIVE,
TO CONTINUE ON THIS PATH
GOD SET BEFORE ME
BEFORE I WAS EVEN ME,
THIS QUEST
THAT HAS A REWARD AT THE END.
I CAN JUST SEE HIM - MY SWEET JESUS.
YOU SEE,
UNFORGIVENESS ONLY HURTS ME.
I THINK I UNDERSTAND THAT SCRIPTURE NOW,
AT LEAST A LITTLE,
PROVERBS FOUR TWENTY THREE:
"GUARD YOUR HEART,
FOR EVERTHING YOU DO FLOWS FROM IT."
FORGIVE, LET THAT SIN OF OTHERS,
THE HURT, THE PAIN,
THE BURDEN IN YOUR
HEART, ON YOUR SHOULDERS,
ROLL OFF YOUR BACK
LIKE WATER OFF OF A DUCK.
EVEN SENSITIVE ME,
WHO WEARS HER HEART ON HER SLEEVE,
AM TRYING HARD TO GUARD MY HEART
BECAUSE IT IS ALREADY STILL SO CRUSHED
AND SCARRED
AND HURT AND JUST WANTING TO BE LOVED
FOR ME
BY FORGIVING THOSE I FEEL HAVE HURT ME
IN ANY WAY
BECAUSE YOU KNOW
THOSE PEOPLE
HAVE LONG AGO
FORGOTTEN WHAT THEY DID,
THE PAIN THEY INFLICTED
THAT HAS STAYED WITH ME FOR DECADES.
AND I AM STILL BEING BLAMED.
SO IN ORDER TO CONTINUE ON THIS QUEST,
TO LET THIS HURT ROLL OFF OF MY BACK,
LIKE WATER OFF OF A DUCK,
I MUST FORGIVE AND WIPE MY FEET
AND MOVE ON.
JUST MAKE A CLEAN CUT.
AND REMEMBER THAT IT IS NOT MY FAULT.
JESUS LOVES ME, THIS I KNOW,
FOR THE BIBLE TELLS ME SO.
AND IT IS WELL WITHIN MY SOUL.
PSALM 19:14 - MAY THESE WORDS OF MY MOUTH AND THIS MEDITATION OF MY HEART BE PLEASING IN YOUR SIGHT, LORD, MY ROCK AND MY REDEEMER.
