Living forgiveness...

Let go of the ones you love
Just as I had to let go of you.
If they come back
They were always yours.
If they don't
They never were
Just as you were never really mine.

Living forgiveness,
How great does that sound?
And how incredibly far away
From what seems possible.
If I hate you,
People will understand.
If I hate her,
People will agree.
Do I have the right to hate?
In the end,
All she tried to do
Was being with the one
Who wasn't ever mine anyway!
Is that wrong?
There are many ways that lead to success.
But not all of them are good.
There would have been a different path,
A different action.
But if he wasn't mine,
Who gives me the right
To have wanted to keep him?

And now I am free,
More than I ever was.
Living my life
With this marvellous feeling
Of living forgiveness.

belief

I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the dark. (John 12:46)


God is

The empty tree near the lake

That catches your eye with its beauty

When you haste past

Trying not to be late.


God is

The cool wind that makes you

Stop and look up

To see the sun set behind the house

Just in front of you.


God is

That little moment of silence

Before the storm

Before the challenge

Before the start of the day


God is

That sudden feeling of warmth

That wraps around you

Like the sun

You fail to see.


God is

That little injection

Of energy

And unconditional love

You receive without asking.


God is

The little ray of light

That shines from the sky

On cloudy days

To keep you moving.


God just is...
