Help Me Forgive {poem}

I can't handle these feelings anymore

Please Lord, what do you have in store?

Why am I going through this right now?

I wish I could hear Your voice somehow

My heart has grown so weary

Days have been so dark and dreary

Things got so shadowy and black

All I wanted to do was get the old me back

I hated the anger within me

How it changed me so drastically

When I couldn't take the battle within me anymore

When I wasn't getting any comfort from the things that needed to be restored

I realized I needed to forgive and relieve my heart

I then felt comfort and peace knowing that I did my part

The aches and troubles of my heart had finally faded away and were given to God

He took all that was impure, broken, hurt and all that was flawed

And replaced it with hope, forgiveness, and love

He filled me up again and gave me strength and peace

He allowed all my anger, rage and hurts to be released

God knows how others have hurt you

He saw all your troubles, heartaches and issues

Not one emotion has passed Him by

He has been the one that has always been there waiting to supply

He is just waiting for us to seek Him with our heart

Because He has been there from the very start

 

Do you have something that needs to be let go of?

Someone who may have hurt you and you feel like they don't deserve your love?

Maybe words that have left your heart shattered?

Actions that left you feeling battered?

Nobody deserves forgiveness, but through Christ we all were given another chance

A forgiveness through Him that was accomplished in advance

If God can forgive us so graciously then we too should forgive

Even if we don't have any love to give

We can ask God to give us the love to show others

He will provide us with the strength to be comforters

If you feel like you don't have the love to show

Ask God and He will help your love grow

He will strengthen your heart and restore your life again

Ask God to help you find forgiveness in your heart and He will help remove the pain

Forgiveness is given for you to help lighten and ease your heart

And is simply fulfilling your part

God will judge accordingly and handle it completely

He won't let it go by indiscreetly

Trust in Him and know He will do what is best

He saw the injustice and felt your distress

Know it is in God's hands now and it will never be neglected

And through all this He is taking these circumstances and allowing you to become better strengthened.
