The Greatest Sinner

| 7 Comments

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.

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

  2. You speak of the very most difficult, forgiving oneself…

  3. 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.

Write. Talk. Tell me everything.
