Have You Forgiven Me?

There is something that

shoiuld be a concern.

This is what I call; "The point of no return."

It's a point "where a brother

may have been offended."

By someone he knows, or perhaps "be-friended."

It's a point where something

 is said or "acted out."

And causes this person to

somehow "be cast out."

I think of Jesus who said

 "forgive 70 times 7."

If one's destination is to

 someday live in  heaven.

Many Christians get "offended"

by many things.

And are hindered by what

unforgiveness brings.

Many who say they're a

 "Christ-like representation."

Are often "offended" by

others' "presentation."

Rather than really loving this

person in Jesus' name.

Many choose to gossip,

judge and complain.

Soon... they reach the point

where love doesn't return.

As unforgiveness inside of them

"smolders and burns."

What if Christ loved us they

 way we love others.

His words commands us all

 "to love one another."

You may be the only Christ

 others will ever see...

What you do now...

 will impact others' eternity!
