Forgiveness

"If we really want to love we must learn how to forgive."

~Mother Teresa


Sometimes when words are hard to find and pain is burning bright it is best to ask God to bless you with the words of others to help you express what you feel. After a long hard cry, a lot of soul searching and prayer this morning my Beloved God guided me to this song. I will post both the lyrics and the music video below. Thank you God for knowing exactly what my heart was struggling with. I do not want to be quick to anger, even when confronted by angry people, instead I want to have a heart that easily forgives. I want to be blessed with the ability to be a blessing, even to those that choose hurt me. 

Today I choose forgiveness, I hope you will choose it too

Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, 
just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. ~Ephesians 4:32

Forgiveness
It's the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don't deserve

It's the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just to real
It takes everything you have just to say the word...

Forgiveness
Forgiveness

It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible

Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

It'll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it's power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you

Forgiveness, Forgiveness
Forgiveness, Forgiveness

Show me how to love the unlovable
Show me how to reach the unreachable
Help me now to do the impossible
Forgiveness

I want to finally set it free
So show me how to see what Your mercy sees
Help me now to give what You gave to me
Forgiveness, Forgiveness
