"HAVE YOU FORGIVEN YOURSELF?"

All our lives we are taught to forgive.....
That incudes You...or are you still captive?
What is it you are still holding over your own head?
Some action you took or something you said?

The Good Book (Bible) says to forgive others.....
did you also include You, along with debtors?
You say that you can't, it's just too bad?
Are you bigger and better than Your Creator?
He's forgiven you, why are you so sad?

Was it a broken marriage? Or no marriage?
You believed his lies, or hers, two heart brokage?
Did you forgive yourself for believing his lies?
If so, why do we see so many tears in your eyes?

Even losing one to death can bring a guilty conscience.
"If only," or "I wish I had done this or that!"
Do you think your negative thinking will bring them back?
Of course not, that time is past, so unpack...........

Rid yourself of all excess baggage of long ago.....
Forgive yourself, unbind the ties causing you sorrow.
No longer being a slave to You or to your heart.
Forgive yourself, be free.....joy no longer thwart!
