                              It's Mandatory
Forgiveness Is; What Sets the Christian Apart, from All Other's

Forgiveness is not only divine it is impossible without God. No one is able to truly forgive who has never truly experienced the forgiveness that only God can give to us. God forgives us so much, it is only right that those who are saved forgive those who have unjustly wronged us, even forgive those who may feel justified in not forgiving us, forgetting to look in the mirror and see they themselves were forgiven...

 

 

 

For the Christian to forgive it is mandatory...
Burdens carried for the Christian it is a not just a story-



Wounds inflicted pain so deep,
True we all may weep-



Trials come, trials go,
Life it is fleeting as a vapor we know-



Live each day as you may...
But friend for those who've offended you neglect not to pray-



Pray for those who hurl cruel words, cutting you to the very core...
Pray for those who have to Christ never opened the door.



Dear Christian bear the burden's that come your way.
Walk along that narrow way...



Christian soldier do not weary, do not be frightened for you know who it is you're following.
Look ahead see heaven so bright, soon you'll present to Christ your King.



Never look back, all that shines, all that glitter's is not gold.
So dim soon we'll know are the diamonds today we behold.



Forgiveness dear Christian it is mandatory...
Dear Christian did you not once look into your mirror; in it you'll see your story...



Forgiveness it comes at a price, it is true,
But my friend the price it has been paid in full had you no clue?



It is impossible to forgive it is true, for both you and for me.
Much easier a grudge to bear, so easy to forget our debt it was paid on a tree.



Acceptance of forgiveness have you accepted yet?
It is impossible my friend to pretend to forgive, if you've never received forgiveness for your own debt.



There is only one who is able, only one who can truly forgive.
But it is up to you the individual to fully accept, but for Christ there is no hope to give.



Forgiveness, it is easy, for the Christian who truly understands a debt it's been paid.
Never can someone truly forgive who has not fully accepted that for our individual sin Christ in the grave was laid.



Forgiveness was made complete on the third day.
Dear Christian forgiveness it is mandatory for you, so today it is time to pray...



Pray today, pray because your debt it was paid, forgiven you are, forgive as it is mandatory
Forgive end of story...
