Hardly far was His walk

When He met a companion owing

But a farthing compared to his debt

Strangulating was His hold

despite pleas for Mercy

“Never!” he bellowed

“YOU MUST PAY BACK!”
time was sought

but “never!” came the hasty response

For He had forgotten the master’s care

All be paid was his claim

Not a part but all

not most but all

not many but all

Never to leave till he had

paid the least farthing

Aching the master’s heart felt

For How could love be repaid so

How could one forgiven so much

yet render such in return.

Do you have aught against your brother or does he have against you? Remember Christ’s love for us. While unlovable, weak and without strength he chose to love. Let us also so love one another with a heart large enough to forgive the vilest of offenses.
