Jesus Has Forgiven Me! Have YOU?

Jesus Has Forgiven Me!  Have You?



 



You told me that my sins



 have been forgiven.



Yet, somehow, I've offended you



 by the way I'm livin'.



 



You once talked to me and invited



 me over a time or two.



But you removed me from your life



In everything you do!



 



Is this what Jesus had in mind



when he died on the cross?



To only save some, and consider



 others as “lost?”



 



Do you “choose” who'll be your friend,



and who will not?



Haven’t  you also been forgiven



& blood-bought?



 



Does the overwhelming compassion



 of God's love fill your soul?



Or do you choose which people



 in your life, “you'll let go.



 



Perhaps you have offended Jesus by



 the way you've lived today.



What if HE forsook you—



what would you say?



 



I'm glad Jesus doesn't treat me



 the same way youve done!



By rejecting me…   You rejected



God's precious son!

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!
