Power to move mountains of despair.
Forgiveness is freedom,
Freedom from from attachment to the offender.
Forgiveness is faith,
Faith to let God be the judge.
Forgiveness is maturity,
Maturity to understand the wisdom in letting go.
Forgiveness is strength,
Strength to get up again.
Forgiveness is healing,
Healing from deep wounds.
Forgiveness is life,
Life abundant that Jesus promised.
I love this poem. Jose's doctoral thesis is on forgiveness (and the lack of it in the Turkish Church.) Will share it with him.
