2 June 2019 - ENCS

More about relationships Pastor Joey did share today
We need love and trust, and forgiveness he did say
He spoke of the why, what, and how of forgiveness
For it is a cornerstone of relationships he did express

Forgivneess is important for health, per the Mayo Clinic
Lowering blood pressure and an immune system uptick
Paul said we are all sinners, per Romans chapter three
Thus pain and sin each day each of us will feel and see

Forgiveness acts like a reset button and a clotting agent
Per Matthew six, Jesus gave a command not just intent
Colossians three says that if we forgive, God will forgive
Like Mandela, we can choose forgiveness in how we live

Of course showing forgiveness is usually quite difficult
First, we must acknowledge pain caused or the insult
Second, per Mark six, forgiving others involves a cost
But without this step, God’s forgiveness for us is lost
His love for us never ceases, per Lamentations three
It is important that God’s forgiveness we feel and see

Third in forgiveness we should aspire for perfection
Per Matthew five, love our enemies without objection
But we must forgive others before we can show love
As Jesus did, praying for others we may be tired of
Fourth is that for God’s healing we should believe
Pain takes time to be healed, not an instant reprieve
