Embracing
forgiveness can be very difficult, but is necessary for you to have real
freedom. The
Stew This
recipe is different than the recipe of life For
this recipe is filled with stress and strife. We
start with 1 cup of hurt to begin, Throw
in ½ cup of pain and let it soak in. Throw
in a cup of resentment, just for good measure, Season
it with bitterness however much you pleasure. Stir
these together and watch them boil, Filling
the room with a stench as you toil. Let
it simmer awhile till it’s overflowing with hate. If
you leave it like this, your anguish will be great. To
enjoy this dish there is one ingredient you must add,
It’s a pound of forgiveness and it won’t be so
bad. As
the forgiveness pours in the stew begins to change, The
bitterness and resentment disappear, how strange. The
hurt and pain begin to melt away, The
hate begins to vanish that very same day. Continue
to mix in the forgiveness till it permeates the pot Sometimes
it takes just a little, sometimes a whole lot. Remove
this stew from the heat and let it cool down. Soon
the sweet smell of forgiveness will permeate all around. Savor
this dish every time someone hurts you, You’ll
have a far sweeter dish than some old stew. The
taste will be better than you ever expect, No
pain or hurt and not even a hint of regret.

Scriptures: Matthew 18:21-22, Romans 12:20 Prayer:
Heavenly Father, help me to have a heart of
forgiveness for those who Amen. |
