Divine Forgiveness

Some people view forgiveness,

As a virtue for the weak.

An act of mercy undeserved,

That serves no useful need.

They stand firmly in their judgment,

And won't consider a mistake.

They prefer to hold a senseless grudge,

Than accept amends when made.

They feel they have some Godly right,

To reject and criticize.

They're possessed by righteous anger,

And consumed by pointless pride.

They're focused on how they've been wronged,

And won't be made the fool again.

So they feel they must avenge themselves,

By refusing to give in.

They will sacrifice their family,

Or forsake a long, time friend.

Do anything they have to do,

To be the winner in the end.
