Bless Them

Father God... I usually come to you for others. This time I ask for myself. I need you to teach me how to forgive those who would be unkind and who would curse me.

So far I have managed to say and do nothing. It feels so cowardly and so unjust. It seems that I should be addressing it somehow.

And yet - who have I to convince? Not You. Perhaps only myself. For the others will not hear anything except the beating of their own hearts and the song of their own desires. Truly there is nothing to say.

I feel so alone. Is that how it is when one stands to do the right thing? I sure have a lot of questions, huh? Time and Your Grace will reveal answers. But I am human and I want them now. Please forgive my impatience.

Calm my heart. Make me whole. And... Bless those who cannot see, who do not understand, who believe it is better to be right than right with You. Thanks again for listening. I always feel better talking to You.
