#forgive
I removed the knife
from my back
through
me.
Oh, how satisfying
it would feel
to watch
your skin break,
to hear
your bones crack,
to paralyze
you
the way
you
paralyzed me;
to make you bleed.
Tempting
My grip loosened;
The blade fell;
Feet walking away
Is there a Sister in the House ? Luckily we have one… With all the controversial sinning that just “May” and I say “just may “ be going on here, we need a lady of god for quick forgiveness.
- Beth McCarthy : July
I forgive a lot, but I never forget what’s said and done.
You don’t ever have to forgive someone who wronged you to ease their own guilt. It is perfectly fine to not accept someone’s apology when they ask for forgiveness. You can not forgive someone AND still move on. Anyone who tells you differently is wrong.
You are not entitled to give anyone your forgiveness if they hurt you. You can still live a happy, fulfilling life without giving someone the forgiveness they want.
Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:13 (NLT)
