In the past post I said that I was in a writing contest and that I would be posting some of the writing submitted. In the last post I posted a short story called Inking and Scars. This time I'm posting my poem called 7x70 Times. This poem is about sinning and being forgiven. In the Bible, God says that you should forgive 7x70 times… and more. In the poem, I'm contently sinning, but every single time, He forgives me.
7x70 Times
It happened again
I bused your heart
But you forgive
You let the grudge go
and tell me you still love me
even though I sinned
This time I left a scar
on both of our hearts
but you heal us both, and we move on
I see your beauty,
Then forget it all and lose sight
But you still draw me close to you
I feel all alone in fright
but I feel your presences still close
As you once again create the light
I can’t believe it,
I did it AGAIN
But you still wash away all my sin
You do what it takes
to forgive
and make it right again
That's great! It's easy to forget that he forgives and we should be doing it too.
ReplyDeleteHuh... I never really connected that to how He forgives us I guess... this really helped me make the connection cuz it does relate to Him too! ^_^
