Mercy

[Tirshatha]

Mercy

 

As I reflect on my life and look at my past

I often think about  how many times Jehovah

wished I would learn at last

 

For now as a parent myself, I understand

How sad I made him, rejecting his loving hand

 

Yet even as I, as a parent will forgive

So did Jehovah that I may may live

 

When overwhelmed by grief and shame

I remember why Jehovah

kindly gave me his name

 

He sees what I may not

And reaches down insuring me

that he has not forgot

 

The love I have deep in my heart

For such, his mercy he does impart

 

Leading me gently back to his fold

Trusting me still, his name to uphold

 

Teaching me how to show others the same

Granting forgiveness, relieving their pain

 

Just as I was hurt and ashamed in need of relief

So now it is my turn to ease their grief

 

Jehovah grants us mercy so we may continue to grow

Ever stronger in our faith and the love we show

 

So let us give to others what they desperately need

When they hurt us and frustrate us in word or deed

 

For then we really do demonstrate

How greatly Jehovah's mercy we appreciate

 

If there is someone that has hurt you

The kindest gift you will ever give

Is making it easy for them to live

 

After all, we want for them life

So quickly be ready to end the strife

 

It truly is the greatest gift

Then we our own eyes can lift

 

As we honor the Father that gave us his name

Not begrudgingly or placing  blame

 

Being eager to show that we have truly learned

Obedience ourselves when mercy we discern

 

Will carry our brother and lift his heart

If we, our forgiveness will impart

Hey sister, just a suggestion... Wouldn't it be better to create a single thread were you can put your beautiful poetry?

Btw, you're a gifted writer ;)
