Unforgiveness
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

             Unforgiveness

Where un-forgiveness, free can reign

Where bitterness, can rule

Where gall and bile produces pain

Whiles freely Satan’s Tool

 

Who’ll hide from self! The Lord’s report

Suppress the truth within

Believe the lies from Satan bought

Their souls he seeks to win

 

Why are such eyes to Jesus blind?

Why death still reaps its toll?

Look deep inside, o selfish mind

Consult the troubled soul

 

Consider unforgiveness well

Where bitterness has reigned –Eph.4:31-32

Such woe can only lead to hell

As Jesus Christ explained –Mt.6:14-15

 

Forgiveness; brings sweet joy and peace

God’s love to drink as wine

But where there’s malice, love will cease

And sickness is a sign

 

Before The Lord gives birth anew

Ere joining Jesus’ bride

No evil can remain in view

To self; one must have died

 

Break off the chains to hell’s defeat

Reject the devil’s ploy

Hold fast! The Lord of victory sweet

Drink deep Love’s cup of joy

 

God’s chalice full of freedom’s song

Releasing those once cursed

Who drink The Truth and Christ belong

Will always quench their thirst…..

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
