EPHESIANS 4:31-32

Each day has numerous and countless scenarios,


heavy with offenses and temptations of unrighteousness,


just ripe for the picking.


But I choose not to eat or partake of that fruit.


Instead, ALL thoughts of bitterness, wrath, anger,


clamor, slander and malice, I put away from me.


By the power of the Holy Spirit, I render them mute.






My heart, filled with compassion, will remain tender.


And kind to others I will be.


As I obediently and humbly choose to always forgive,


just as God in Christ also has forgiven me.
