Closure

Things I have been telling myself for the past months:

I mustn't be revengeful and I have to be strong.
To offer good for evil and return right for wrong.
I must not hold a grudge and must learn to endure.
I must forgive those who lie and bless them that curse me.

Bless those souls who would curse my name for when the last bell tolls; I’ll be free of all blame.

When they bruise me with words; when they make me feel small; when it's hardest to bear; I must do nothing at all.

Forgiveness is the mightiest sword. Forgiveness of those you hate will be your highest reward. Forgiveness is the simplest vow. Forgiveness of all their crimes is my deliverance now.

I can continue to grieve but know the gospel is true. The time will come when we will leave this world and the injustice, pain and sin will fall away from us. Only the spark of the
spirit will remain--returning to God who created it. Then as God is my judge; at least my heart will be pure

I must never lose faith; I must never lose heart; for God will restore my trust. Be willing to be brave; brave enough for love.
