If only more people,
would others forgive
oh, what a better world . . .
in which we would live.
Then there would be,
no more sorrow and grief
for bitterness would be
short lived and brief.
If only more people,
would turn the other cheek
oh, how this world . . .
would be so less bleak.
For, then there would be,
less death and devastation
for peace would replace
reproach and condemnation.
If only more people,
would love one another
then we’d have a world . . .
where no one has to suffer!
~~~~~~~~
A new commandment
I give unto you,
That ye love one another;
as I have loved you,
that ye also love one another.
And be ye kind one to another,
tenderhearted,
forgiving one another,
even as God for Christ’s sake
hath forgiven you.

Thank you that you follow https://spurgeonwarquotes.wordpress.com/ Being a resource page, new posts are rare and thus notifications. This blog had small but consistent hits for some time. But now is fading with days of no hits.
I am asking followers to give it some new life by finding places to share it.
Thank you and Blessings,
