Haiku of
forgiving
I kept my distance.
It was too painful
to come
knowing I offend.
My letter was sharp
that things might be
sorted out
and the pain
subside.
I wished to rejoice,
I had confidence in
you.
We should have
shared joy
He who caused me
pain
brought heartache to
all of you.
It has been dealt
with.
Forgive and embrace,
let him be restored
to you;
reaffirm your love.
You have passed the
test,
obedience has led
you
to this place of
grace.
When we forgive, we
declare that Christ
is present.
Grace and love
abound!
