Russell A. Cardwell Online

Maybe God can forgive once and be done,
but I have to forgive over and again.

Forgiveness is a garden
that must be watered every day.
Sometimes, you have to pull the weeds
that spring up to strangle it.

Self-righteousness, jealousy, envy, resentment—
these weeds grow fast and hardy.
Love and patience grow ever so slow,
and need nurture every day.
