Lent: Embracing Your Need for God

DAY 3 OF 11

Repentance

Will you embrace forgiveness …

For the impatience you conceded

the harsh tone you repeated

the mistakes you still defend.

For the truth you bent

the judgment you dispensed

the self you repeatedly forgot.

For the friend you disappointed

the person you avoided

the family you had to cut off.

For the times you stayed small

the avoidance of your call

the apathy you willingly embraced.

For the ways you over-indulged

the secrets you told

the people you never meant to hurt.

For the choices you regret

the pain that still upsets

the wreckage that haunts every day.

For the resentment you harbor

the ways that you barter

and all the things left unsaid.

There is forgiveness for you.

Forgiveness for that too.

Forgiveness whose flow never ends

Will you believe it?

Will you receive it?

Will you embrace it as true?
