A Resentful Spirit Grows Into A Terrible Burden. Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

Forgiveness is an act of the will
more than an act of the heart.

We don't feel like being merciful
to someone who has wronged us.

But a resentful spirit grows
into a terrible burden.


You won't deal with a sin
until you see it as God does.
So assume full responsibility
for the unforgiving attitude.

Acknowledge that it is a
violation of God's command.

Claim the divine mercy He offers.
Ask Him to enable you
to lay aside anger and resentment.

Pray for those who hurt you.
