Born Again

I was conceived in this cell,

born again,

it was shortly after the time of my

submission

when I told them of

my friends, their names

what they had done

where they lived,

the demons were in my mind

at the time of betrayal,

then Jesus found me

and I was born again.

 

I pray for the one's

I have betrayed, and

ask for their forgiveness

even as they are dragged from their cells

to the place of torture,

screaming and cursing my name,

even then

I ask for their forgiveness and

pray that Jesus will find them.

 

For I have been born again

here in this cell, and

I forgive them

their hatred of me

for I am in the love of the Lord,

I  have been born again.

I've heard it said that true forgiveness comes from within. Some find forgiveness hard to do.
It's a sad fact.

Janet.
