Re~Written
Have you every Re-watched a movie that you didn't like?
Hmm...
Have you ever
Re-Read
a chapter in your story
that you didn't like?
Hmm....
When you just keep
Re-Winding
back to that
time or
place or
person
when
something you did or
something that someone else did
caused pain,
but it just
causes more pain
every time you
Re-Read
that chapter in your story.
It may be in
Chapter 1 or in Chapter 22
or in the
Chapter
that is currently being written,
but you are just stuck
on that page
Re-Reading
it
just one more time
in hope
that it will go away
or it
just won't hurt anymore.
Re-Cycling
the same thing over and over again
when really what is being
Re-Cycled
is
"anger and disappointment at being treated unfairly; resentment."
The Chapter entitled
Bitterness
because
Re-Reading
the chapter
doesn't have the power to
erase the words on the page~
Re-Writing
into what you wished it to be...
But
Re-reading
doesn't have to hurt anymore
when you
Put You in His Story
His Story
of
Forgiveness~
because He said it best
"Forgive them, Father! They don't know what they are doing." Luke 23:24
But
"Forgiveness is not granted because a person deserves to be forgiven. No one deserves to be forgiven. Forgiveness is a deliberate act of love, mercy, and grace.
Forgiveness is a decision to not hold something against another person,
despite what he or she has done to you." (https://www.gotquestions.org/what-is-forgiveness.html)
But
Forgiveness~ ("Forgiveness", by Matthew West)
It's the hardest thing to give away
And the last thing on your mind today
It always goes to those that don't deserve
Forgiveness
It's the opposite of how you feel
When the pain they caused is just to real
It takes everything you have just to say the word...
Forgiveness
It flies in the face of all your pride
It moves away the mad inside
It's always anger's own worst enemy
Even when the jury and the judge
Say you gotta right to hold a grudge
It's the whisper in your ear saying 'Set It Free'
Forgiveness~
Show _____________ (PUT your name)
how to love the unlovable
Show _____________ (PUT your name)
how to reach the unreachable
Help _____________ (PUT your name)
now to do the impossible
Forgiveness~
Because...
It'll clear the bitterness away
It can even set a prisoner free
There is no end to what it's power can do
So, let it go and be amazed
By what you see through eyes of grace
The prisoner that it really frees is you,
_______________ (PUT your name).
Just ask and you will receive...
I, _______________, (PUT your name)
want to finally set it free
So show ______________ (PUT your name)
how to see what Your mercy sees
Help ______________ (PUT your name)
now to give what You gave to _____________(PUT your name)~
Forgiveness!
So
Put Him in My Story
Put Him in Your Story
so
He can
RE-Write
your
Chapter of
Bitterness
to
Forgiveness
As
He erases the deep pain of the hurt
by filling the wounds from the hurt
because
He heals the brokenhearted
He wipes away the tears
with
His
Forgiveness~
Re-Writing
over every
wrong
Because
He is our
Re-Deemer.
*When you have a moment, watch the story behind the song Forgiveness
and listen to the song...
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans5:8
