Why I am Whole . . .

Forgetting doesn't come easy,
forgiveness harder yet . .
and I know my heart and soul
still feels the price of their debt.

Throwing away the past,
and its harsh ~ cold memories
makes me cry like a baby
crawling on hands and knees.

I know all of my mistakes,
the wrong choices that I regret
but for the life of me . . .
their repercussion I can't forget.

I wish I could go back in time,
and do things so differently
but then who knows if I could
if I'd do the right thing in certainty.

I turn over in my bed,
pound the pillow till I find
a place to lay my weary head
and give Jesus what's on my mind.

He takes my anguished thoughts,
turns them over in my soul . . .
He lets me know He forgives me
and that is why today ~ I am whole!

2 Corinthians 5:17
King James Version

"Therefore if any man be in Christ, he
is a new creature: old things are
passed away; behold, all things are
become new."
