Your forgiveness is total
Your forgiveness is total
no notebook
tape recorder
or post-it note
to remind you of that moment
when.……..
You take our confession
offered with hands outstretched
and gently
like the loving
heavenly Father that you are
put it to one side
to be forgotten
No grudges, no itching for judgement
No resentment or ill-will
Not like us
who find it easy to say sorry
but so hard to forgive
absolutely
Forgive us, Father
that we are often more willing
to accept forgiveness
than to forgive
More willing to accept your love
than to share it with those
who have hurt us.
Teach us to forgive
As you forgive
