Forgivin’ is Livin’

By Jane Tawel

November 19, 2022

*

Forgive my assumptions

that lead me to doubt

that You have guided and gifted me.

*

Forgive my forgetting

the times that pure Grace

was all that protected and lifted me.

*

Forgive my instructions

that force You to choose

whether Your will or my will is done.

*

Forgive me the most

for the things that I boast of

while neglecting it all came through grace.

And help me, today,

to walk in a New Way,

that one day, We may stand face to Face.

*

Forgive that I choose

to be lazy or greedy

and to live in a life based on fear.

*

May I do what is hardest,

and forgive me, Myself;
