'In Order To Be Forgiven' Poem by Linda Winchell

In Order to be forgiven
You must first learn to forgive yourself.
It's a thing so many never really seem to do
But is something that must be dealt.

We all can ask for God's forgiveness
That is the first step to becoming whole.
But you also must learn to forgive yourself
To healthy, maintain and grow ones soul.

Just tell yourself
The debts been paid.
And if God could forgive you of all your sin.
Then forgiving yourself is but an easy step
For God's love filling, joy and peace
To now flow within!
