Forgiveness

  Bondage is the payment Satan seeks to offer dreams of lies that mimmic truths. His pardoning gesture fraudulently appearing to grant your freedom, he prepares to ride your consciousness into your salvation. He disappears to give you space but never leaves the depths of your guilt and helplessness. He awaits your call while he grips your memory to overwhelm the possibilities of perfection with flashes of failure and the impossibility of reconciliation.
But forgiveness is the song that drives mercy’s sweetness through the density of evil’s hardened grip and rings significance to the lost and the lonely; the orphans and the outcasts. It’s the taste of calming grace that quenches raging inward fires; a comforting touch to the untouchable; an embrace to the abandoned. It’s the release of stinging cold steel bondage to the warmth of the radiant sunlight. Soft melodic notes of blessings, replacing screams of horror and dread. Lifting years of weighted baggage from the tortured backs of the overburdened; exhaling the foul taste of poisonous entrapments. Freedom!
Forgiveness is the truth of our merciful inheritance; the outstretched hand of our loving Father. It’s the completion of the futile trial of inadequacy replaced by the ability to do all things.
I think I’ll take it!
