To Leave the War House Locked

To Leave the War House Locked ~ original oil painting by Michael Douglas Jones


Day 7  #reverb11 Forgiveness


In my past, there was a warehouse where I stored my weapons of war.  My anger and hurt were in there, with my drawn out plans of vengeance against those that had wronged me.  I locked it deep inside me as I went about my days, and now the lock has rusted shut; I cannot get back in, and I've forgotten what I was fighting about.

Perhaps it is time to forgive those that have wronged me and to leave the war house locked.

  1. I LOVE this painting. I also love this idea, that forgiveness might not always be a choice, but a necessity. The only way to go. Forward. Onward.
    Yes.

  5. I agree with the other comments, the visual along with your words really paints the full picture of your sentiment. Locked away for all time...
