After Divorce, Forgiveness MUST Begin!

I know someone who blames his ex for the divorce.
He blames her for their marriage going "off course."
He won't admit to anything he's done as wrong.
Any kind of apology is just something that's "wrong."
You may think is ex is the "worst person there ever was."
He likes to point out her wrongdoings, just because...
He acts spiritual, as if God is really "on his side."
But continues to live with arrogance and pride.
I wonder what Jesus thinks of the words he's spoken.
I'm sure the heart of God listens and is broken.
We need to know we all have many shortcomings.
What kind of person, in Christ, are we becoming?
Let's put others sins at the foot of the cross.
Let's focus on Jesus' love and not on what's lost.
Let's strengthen our words on the forgiveness we can gain.
And stop giving someone else all of the blame.
Only by doing this, will we have a Godly victory.
And enjoy a life in Christ Jesus so abundantly!
Let's confess to one another, that we may be healed!
And not base what we say and live on how we feel!

Through this, can true healing and forgiveness begin…

When we speak kind words of the one we once called FRIEND!
