Quotes about Forgiveness

For Christianity begins not with a big do, but with a big done.

God is well able to deal with our sins; but He cannot deal with a man under accusation, because such a man is not trusting in the Blood.

If it is a choice to be right or kind, always choose kind.

The Christian gospel is a summons to peace, calling for justice beyond anger, mercy beyond justice, forgiveness beyond mercy, love beyond forgiveness.

We're all broken, all walk with a limp. Here is the truth about you and me: even when in a far-off country, wasted life, stripped bare, smeared, squandered, nothing but scar tissue and shameful, self-inflicted wounds, the love of the Father finds the son and daughter.

We stood in silence, and yet I heard a familiar voice saying, Listen here, child, that's God's little girl, baggage and all, so don't go judging the cover. He doesn't care what she looks like. He'll take her and us any way he can get us. Just like the woman at the well. Best you switch lenses and start seeing her that way too.

Hate is a powerful weapon. But it is powerless when it comes to cutting chains off the human heart.
