Healing of Hatred

A friend's poem on relationship troubles (11/24/14):

I pray for a miracle to bring healing

And for some relationship spring cleaning

We know Your promises are worth believing

But on this earth they seem so deceiving

I pray for change in both their hearts

And for perspective on her own part

That You would mend the broken art

That has been destroyed by angrily thrown darts

My response:

But now I thank thee Lord above,

for mending my torn soul with your love,

able to heal every inflicted wound,

ever so closely to hatred tuned.

I feel the dark cloak of my heart,

fallen away in all not part,

and I know it’s due

only because of You.

So though close quarters may be hard,

I know there will not be a single shard,

left strewn of my soul,

because You oh Lord are now in control.

I give you my all of my life,

to be Your beloved wife,

and in this beautiful romance
through life we will dance.
