Patience and Mercy

Patience and mercy where are you?

I walk as if I have been offended again

I pout as if only I matter

Like a silly child with no thumb

To put into my mouth

Really!!!!

God, this is so me!

You must be tired of me

Always doing this!

No patience! No mercy!

Please forgive me as I need to

Forgive others

Is it as hard for You to forgive me?

To show me patience when I’m childish

To show me Your tender mercies

When I fail

As it is for me to show patience

And mercy towards others?

No, because You forgive and forget!

Your tender mercies are new every morning

Your patience is a never-ending supply

I am so sorry!
