Don't you believe people make mistakes? <br />And should be forgiven for those they make? <br /> <br />'Sure. <br />I've made quite a few myself. <br />And not one did I make, <br />Was an intention to undermine someone else, <br />Consciously. <br /> <br />Nor did I, <br />With a premeditation done... <br />Inflict sorrow on anyone. <br /> <br />Those are not 'mistakes'. <br />That is a remorse received for a thing done, <br />Now bringing feelings of guilt and grief. <br /> <br />Feelings of guilt that brings one grief, <br />Is a payback. <br />And those are divinely distributed. <br /> <br />Mistakes can be corrected. <br />Heartaches and 'breaks'... <br />Are way beyond my jurisdiction to mend. <br />They require much prayer and faith. <br />And that is what I have relied on to keep my head up, <br />To protect from those of destructive forces. <br /> <br />So those who choose to say, <br />They should be forgiven for making mistakes. <br />And expect a forgiveness done... <br />Are 'consciously' approving their own devious activities. <br />That is the way I see deeds done they do to leave. <br />With expectations to continue their deceptions. <br />After an appropriate forgiveness has been delivered.' <br />Those are not mistakes. <br />And there is quite a difference.'<br /><br />Lawrence S.
