Divine Forgiveness

My life's affected by our God's inspiration,
That keeps me increasing my motivation;
There's only one reason making it possible,
God's grace in forgiving makes it feasible;
He believes in us and for us to do as well,
Reserving Him room in your heart to dwell;
God can be depended on to forgive us all,
He will pick us up when or where we fall;
God has forgiven when we forget our task,
All we have to do is go pray and then ask;
Being forgiven also means forgiving others,
Love and mercy to our sisters and brothers;
That does not mean just only once or twice,
Forgiving 70 times 7 is very good advice;
Let the bitterness and anger fade away,
Allowing the tenderheartedness to stay;
Forgiveness is from the ultimate sacrifice,
For Christ's earthly life paid the price;
To err is human and forgiving is divine,
Ones who believe eternal life will be thine.
