Is There Someone Who You Can't Forg

Is There Someone Who You Can’t Forgive?



 



There is something I feel



of great concern.



This is what I call; "The point of no return."



 



It's a point "where a brother



may have been offended."



By someone he knows, or perhaps “obmitted.”



 



It's a point where something



 is said or "carried out."



And causes this person to



somehow "be cast out."



 



Think of Jesus who said



 "forgive 70 times 7."



If one's destination is to



 someday live in  heaven.



 



Many Christians get "offended"



by many things.



And are hindered by what



unforgiveness brings.



 



Many who say they're a



 "Christ-like representation."



Are often "offended" by



others' "presentation."



 



Rather than really loving this



person in Jesus' name.



Many choose to gossip,



judge and complain.



 



Soon... they reach the point



where love doesn't return.



As unforgiveness inside of them



"smolders and burns."



 



What if Christ loved us they



 way we love others.



His words commands us all



 "to love one another."



 



You may be the only Christ



 others will ever see...



What you do now...



 will impact others' eternity!

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!
