Quotes about Forgiveness

DUMAH "Love your enemies and do what is wonderful to those who hate you. Bless those who curse you and pray over those who take you away by force." Yeshua

My personal attitude is this: I will stand for revival, unity and prayer; I will labor to restore healing and reconciliation between God's people. Yet, if all God truly wanted was to raise up one fully yielded son--a son who would refuse to be offended, refuse to react, refuse to harbor unforgiveness regardless of those who slander and persecute--I have determined to be that person. My primary goal in all things is not revival, but to bring pleasure to Christ.
