So much energy is lost
When we do not forgive.
The loss of spirit is the cost.
Let go. Be free and live!
Troubled by a debtor and unable to sleep,
When we do not forgive.
The loss of spirit is the cost.
Let go. Be free and live!
Troubled by a debtor and unable to sleep,
He plotted for justice, with impatience grown deep.
How quickly he'd forgotten his own impossible debt;
How, through mercy given, he'd been forgiven- the full depth.
Even more: he and his family had been set to be sold
Along with their property no longer to hold.
Now, he would to not forgive but a small loan?
The compassion once known, was not further shown.
In court, the debtor pled hard for time, before the judge.
The forgiven man's demands would not one ounce budge!
The merciful man who had once paid off his enormous debt
Recalled it in full, and from everything he was swept!
Matthew 18:21-35
