Vindication

An offense
A hurt
A deep wound
Taking hold
Wrenching turmoil because of what another has done
Forgiveness is sometimes so hard to find
The sooner, the better, it seems
The less time to take root
The less time to let the wounds fester and gain infection
Yes, the soonest I can hand an offense to You is best
You see every intricate detail in the hearts of man
You do not miss a thing
If someone knew better, you see that
If they meant it for harm, you see that as well
There is nothing you don’t see
So, who better to trust for vengeance than you?
I can never repay someone for a wicked deed as well as You
I do not have the ability to discern a heart and realize the intentions
That is beyond my scope of reason
Beyond my realm
My offenses are safe with You
You won’t forget, neither will You give a person more or less than they deserve You are righteous and Your judgments are true
What a human sows, so shall he reap in due time
Your judgments are sometimes swift and we see them
sometimes we will never know but, still, You are just
You will hold the offenders accountable
Let me be strong to trust in You
Your ways which are higher than mine
Keep me as the apple of Your eye
You shall keep me in perfect peace when my mind is stayed in You
My job is to love and forgive in Your grace and strength
