'Bitterness Of Revenge' Poem by Linda Winchell

“Revenge is mine” says the Lord
So why then do we kick our brother’s and sister’s when their down?
Bitterness harbored… of maybe some past hurts
The disease of… “Sins revenge”…
Seems to be spreading… all around.

Ones reviling in another’s pain
Because they’ve done something… in the past to you.
Is this really… what our God wants of us?
Is that really… what one should do?

We are asked to reach out a helping….loving hand
Pull our brothers’up…when they are down.
It just wasn’t something that Jesus died for
Upon a cross…with nails and thorn of crown.

He told us …”Love your brothers’
As you so… love yourselves.”
And if this is the love you harbor inside
Then that will be one day… what you are dealt!
