Those Who Have Wronged Us
Those Who Have Wronged Us…
I had a loved one whom I thought loved me.
I couldn’t understand how she would treat me!
I thought she was a Christian. She said she was.
She told me; “I don’t like you just because!”
As the years went by, just the way she lived.
I wanted nothing to do with her! Much less forgive!
The things she did were hurtful and caused pain.
I didn’t even want to mention her name!
Years later, I felt the lord tugging at my heart!
God wanted a healing…
And a fresh start
I wanted an apology… It never took place.
I felt the Lord asking me
for more of his grace.
You see, after all these years, with no words spoken.
I heard of some news, and my heart was broken.
I found out this person was soon at death’s door.
When I found out… I fell to the floor!
I cried “Father in heaven will you please forgive me?
I didn’t love her, in spite of how
she would treat me!”
The opportunity I had was a chance for forgiving.
Now she hasn’t much longer
that she’ll be living!
May this be a warning and a “wake up” reminder!
To those who wronged us,
we need to be kinder!
Christ’ love needs to break the “barriers” down.
So forgiveness in our lives
will certainly be found!
