Have You “Cut” Someone Out Of Your Life?


 


Many people are walking


down a dangerous path.


By “letting the sun set


on their wrath.”


 


They say; “I’m not angry.”


 “I just don’t talk to him anymore.”


“I don’t have anything to do with him


 or let him in my door.”


 


Is this what it means, when Christ


 says we must forgive?


To completely “cut someone off”


out of the lives we live?


 


I’m confused here… 


Can you tell me the difference?


It’s unforgiveness.  No matter how you


 try to change the appearance.


 


Why not explain to God, why you


decided to “cut someone out.”


Perhaps read his word on what being


 his example is all about.


 


This choice you made… 


It’s been made by many others before.


When it comes to forgiveness. 


We all need so much more!


 


The “ball is in your court now.” 


What are you going to do?


Remember…  In spite of your faults. 


Christ says; “I love you!”


 


May God stir your spirit to be


humble and broken…


And bless those who’ve hurt you


 in what is done and spoken!

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
