"Hold on to instruction, do not let it go;
guard it well, for it is your life."
Proverbs 4:13 NIV
Allowing Love to Prevail

What a concerned Papa God You are, and how You love us so...
Reaching out to provide and protect - You show us how to grow.
Despite wounded hearts - You ask us to forgive repeatedly...
Wisely knowing - if we harbor resentment we'll never be free.
For when we choose to hold a grudge - it's to the devil's gain...
Allowing him to stir the pot - with bitterness and pain.
Yet; if we'd stop and pray for loving eyes to see...
A lost and wayward child, in need of clemency,
How much easier - to extend God's Gift of Grace...
And oh what joy - to put the devil in his place.
For each time we offer forgiveness - we succeed...
In glorifying God - with each kind act and deed.
Defeating the devil - for anger is sure to fail...
Conquered through compassion - allowing love to prevail!
So ask God to help you - forgive as He has forgiven you...
And feel the healing power - of that forgiveness when you do!
"Love isn't selfish or quick tempered.
It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do.
Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful,
and trusting. Love never fails!"
1 Corinthians 13:5,7,8 CEV
guard it well, for it is your life."
