LETTING GO OF THE PAST
(THE ROAD TO FORGIVENESS)
We are ALL carrying
Some past issues
Along with us
Through our lives
ISSUES that
We are having trouble letting go
We NEED to
Make PEACE with these issues
Before we can move along-
SUCCESSFULLY-
With our lives
“As far as the east
Is from the west
So far he has put
Our transgressions from us” Psalm 103:12
God has NO trouble
Forgiving us
From our past mistakes
WHY do we
Have so much trouble
Forgiving others?
Why do we
Have so much trouble
Forgiving ourselves?
Why don't we let go
Of this road-
To the past?
Let us TRY a new road
THE ROAD TO FORGIVENESS
Just like our God
Let us LET GO of the past
Let us BUILD a healthy future
“FORGET the former things
Do NOT dwell in the past” Isaiah 43:18
“WHOEVER invokes a blessing
In the land
Will do so
By the ONE TRUE GOD
Whoever takes an oath
In the land
Will swear
By the one true God
For the past troubles
WILL BE FORGOTTEN
And hidden from my eyes” Isaiah 65:16
SOMETIMES-we have sins-
Or mistakes-if you will
That linger in our lives
Like unwelcome visitors
Parts of our past
That REFUSE to go away
NO matter how many times
We take them to God
LET US make a pact
You and I
Let us let go
Of the past
Let us build our future
ON LOVING GOD
And on LOVING each other
Let us let go of our past
Let us take
THE ROAD TO FORGIVENESS
It is the ONLW WAY
We can SPIRITUALLY MATURE
It is the only way
We can FIND the true FAITH
To move into the future
WITH CONFIDENCE
“CONSIDER the blameless
Observe the upright
A future awaits
For those who SEEK PEACE” Psalm 37:37
“There is SURELY
A FUTURE for you
And your hope
Will not be cut off” proverbs 23:18
ACCEPT the grace and forgiveness
God offers you
OFFER grace and forgiveness
To someone else
TOGETHER-we can
Let go of the past
Together-we can TAKE the fork in the road
THE ROAD TO FORGIVENESS
THANK YOU LORD
For the grace and the FAITH
To go on-EVERY DAY
In Jesus' name
