Everybody Loves The Lord's Prayer
And
Blithely Repeat It
Without Pausing To Think About The Words
"Forgive Us ... As We Forgive ...!"
We Love To Talk About
"Do Fuh Do!"
When We Are The Doer
And
Foolishly Forget That
We Are In Debt To Almighty God
Because
We Have Trespassed
Aka Gone Where We Should Not
Aka Committed Sin Against His Holiness!
We, All, Are Treading On Dangerous Ground
When We Pray For Forgiveness
And
Walk Around Holding Grudges Against People
- Be They Friends, Family Or Foes -
While Daringly Saying:
"I Will Never Forgive Them!"
Beloved,
Are You The True And Living Holy God Of Grace And Mercy!?!
Do You Hold Life And Eternity In Your Hand!?!
If Your Answer Is
"No!"
I Beseech Us All To Back-Back To Go Forward!
The Lord Jesus Christ
Immediately After Teaching His Disciples
How To Pray
Then Warned Them Graphically
About The Content Of Their Prayers
And
Their Attitude!
To Err Is Human:
To Forgive Is Divine!
We Who Desire The Lord's Forgiveness
For Our Sins Against Him
Must First
Forgive Those
"Who Done Did Us Wrong!"
Let Us, Therefore
Be Obedient So That
We Shall Be Blessed Of Our God!
By Faith
In Truth
For The Love Of God
Dare To Extend Your Hand In Fellowship
Even If It Figuratively Gets Chopped Off!
The Lord Of Earth And Glory
Reads Hearts
And
He Promises New Life And New Bodies!
Do Right!
Eternal Blessings Await The Obedient Enduring Faithful!
Peace
Is
Like The River Glorious!
