Forgiveness

 Judge not, till you achieve perfection,
For your sins do not escape GOD's detection,

                                                                                  

Love all your brothers, cast no rejection,
Entrance to Heaven is only by GOD's selection,

Forgiveness of trespasses is no easy task,
For His guidance and courage you need to ask,
When at His table, you can wear no mask,
seated, in His glory and love you shall bask,

Place yourself before no one, lest you become last,
Repay harm with kindness, for this is chaste,
In GOD's kingdom, no blame shall be cast,
All sins forgiven,
All transgressions past,

We struggle to conquer anger and hate,
Unchecked and rapid misery it creates,
Until in Heaven where all will be safe,
We can but strive to live in His faith.
