Forgiving is easy
For this one or that
To someone who isn’t
Wearing my hat
Forgiving another
I’ll humbly do
Sometimes it’s not easy
To start again, new.
But still it is easier
To forgive others’ wrong
But forgiving myself
It just takes so long.
If I could just see me
As that one, I see
A child of God too
Whom He has set free
Someone who the Father
Knows outside and in
Whom He has forgiven
Of every dark sin
So I am forgiving
Myself on this day
And all of my burdens
At the cross, I lay.

Ah beautiful – I agree with you, I find it much harder to forgive myself than others. I love this poem, what a lovely rhythm :)

You speak of the very most difficult, forgiving oneself…

I think it’s difficult for most of us, isn’t it?

Beautiful Anne! So easy to love & forgive the faults of others. Our own sins are like
millstones around our necks. Yet we know that God loves us as we are, not as we would
want to be.
