Are you guilty of holding a grudge against someone?
Or do you need to apologize and ask forgiveness
of a brother or sister this morning?
Our Lord tells us that we are to
forgive one another as He has
forgiven us! Amen?........

It might be just a little thing
that's preying on your mind;
Something that you might
have said which to someone
else might have been unkind.

Is asking for forgiveness too
hard for you to do?
Wouldn't it be much better than
to let it keep on bugging you?

Sometimes we speak before we
think and hurt somebody's feelings;
But when we say we're sorry
it can bring about our inner
healing.

You can sit around and worry
and wring your hands a bit;
Wouldn't it be best to say I'm
sorry, to be forgiven and
forget?

Could it be that someone else
has done something that hurt
you thru and thru?
You've not been willing to forgive
but want to do them like they did you?

My friend that's not the answer or the way God wants for us to be;
He wants you to forgive them the
way He's forgiven you and me!

That's why He gave His life and died there on Calvary;
He took our sins upon Himself and
He pardoned you and me!

So when you get down on your
knees and ask for His forgiveness,
Remember it's these little things
that can take away His peace and blessedness!

Just stop and think about it and
you'll know just what I mean;
If you want to live your life for
Him, these little things won't go
unseen!

If we're to live a life that's holy
and be made in the likeness of our Lord;
Then we'll rid ourselves of these
little things and come to Him and
be restored!

Forgiveness is like taking a cold shower on a hot summer day;
It refreshes as it cleanses all
the grit and grime away!
