God Quotes

Remember that churches would be empty ruins without the sinners who transform them into places of life, love and worship.

~ Rev. Kellen Roggenbuck

God unconditionally loves us.

~ Lailah Gifty Akita

God forgives not with a decree but with a caress. Jesus too goes beyond the law and forgives by caressing the wounds of our sins.

~ Pope Francis

When you quieten and silence your mind and lovingly consult your heart, that direct line between your heart and mind directs you to the God within you. It is in that place you will find your answers and what you are looking for. If you are hurt by others, mistrust and hate them, you can not heal. You are only punishing your own soul. FORGIVENESS is the key here. Forgive and let GO. It is a gift you give to your self in order to heal your wounds. Life goes on no matter what! It's either LOVE or HATE. Which would you choose?

~ Angie Karan

When I found God forgiveness found me.

Repentance is words, God forgives the kind.

~ Sixeye

It‘s utterly astounding that every time I get knocked down God’s mercy compassionately raises me to my feet; His grace thoroughly brushes off every trace of assorted filth I accumulated in the fall, His word precisely recalibrates my direction to insure the success of a journey resumed, and once all of that is completed He gently leans over and whispers, “How about another run?

~ Craig D. Lounsbrough

God doesn’t care how well you can preach about forgiveness… what He looks at is your behavior when presented the opportunity to practice it.

~ Steve Maraboli

Still hurting so much today from what my prior Pastor and 19church board did to me last year, and I really want to get past that. I want and need to forgive them, to move on with my life and look forward, forget the past.

~ Michael Richard Stosic

~ Jim George

The Lord teaches forgiveness, but some things are unforgivable.

~ Nenia Campbell

Lo, God! I am Thy handiwork. I have sinned and have done great evil, yet I am still Thy handiwork, who hath made me what I am. So, though I may not undo that which I have done, yet I may, with Thy aid, do better hereafter than I have done heretofore.

~ Howard Pyle

In the past you have suppressed and denied the ego system. The ego has not been raised to awareness, but once you start to raise it to awareness and the stuff starts getting flushed up, there is a strong tendency to want to project. Even though the ego is now being unveiled, you are seeing that the mind is still very strongly invested in it and that is where the guilt comes in. The transcendence will eventually come where we are able to detach in our mind from those false thoughts, from the attack thoughts; we will be able to just calmly see the false as false. But that is one of the stages that we go through. Once it starts to get flushed up there is a real tendency to project – to be what Jesus calls the unhealed healer. You want to go around and give healing without having healed yourselves and it is just to watch as we do this, and go through it.

~ David Hoffmeister

Awakening involves mind training. Step back and pay attention to the thoughts that come into awareness. Feel your desire for healing. Preferences are judgments, and as the mind yields to the nonjudgmental Perspective of the Holy Spirit, the Awakening is obvious. Observe that as long as appetites seem to exist there are the ego defenses of indulgence and repression. Neither is better or worse than the other, for they are the same illusion. The miracle offers a real alternative and when one is consistently miracle-minded, defenses are no longer needed.

~ David Hoffmeister

The Holy Spirit Asks that you accept the idea of one mind wholeheartedly, for this is the Correction to the error called ego. The ego was the belief in private minds with private thoughts, but if mind is one the ego has no foundation on which to stand. Forgiveness reflects the oneness that shines beyond perception. Forgiveness unifies and shows the world anew. You are not going insane, you are going inward to sanity of mind. And unified perception is the gateway to the remembrance of God and Christ.

~ David Hoffmeister

It seems like every day you have to deal with problems, interpersonal problems, survival, and so on and so forth. But you only have one problem and there is one solution to that problem. Isn’t that nice to think it is so simple? If there is such a thing as truth, it will be simple – one problem and one solution. If I perceive the problem to be in the world, it cannot be solved because the Holy Spirit is the one answer to that one problem and the Holy Spirit is in the mind. God did not place the answer where the problem was not. He did not place the answer out on the screen. He did not place the answer in the world; he placed the answer in the mind of the sleeping Son. And that is where the Holy Spirit is.

~ David Hoffmeister

Forgive yourself, for anything and everything. This includes things you did as an adult and way back to things you have done since you were born. You can't change the past, so let it go and move on. You won't really have peace in general until you make peace with yourself. You need to generally like yourself and get along with yourself, because you will always be there. You can't get away from yourself. Wherever you go, there you are. :) So become your own friend, then you will have peace inside of yourself. God, the perfect and holy one, even gives you grace; so give yourself grace. You never have been and never will be perfect. So get over trying to be. Amen

~ Lisa Bedrick

The symbols and the gifts and the tools of Awakening are noticed everywhere once you have opened your heart to them. They are free and Freely Given. They come with blessings and with no cost or sacrifice. They come easily to a willing heart and open mind. Be not afraid of Love. Love comes as a Friend and the Holy Spirit is Friendly and Gentle.

~ David Hoffmeister

And when Jesus declared, 'It is finished,' He meant it. God’s punishment for our sin was paid for, permanently settled, finished— 100 percent. If you have responded in faith to God’s free pardon through Jesus, then God will never punish you for your sin. It’s finished. No more. If you screw up today or tomorrow (which you will), it’s already been paid for through Jesus. 'There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,' Paul said (Rom. 8: 1). None. God will not and cannot condemn you after He has already condemned Jesus for you. It’s impossible. God will never be angry with you since His anger was poured out on Jesus. All of it. One hundred percent.Charis: God's Scandalous Grace for Us (p. 169).

~ Preston Sprinkle

Dear church, John the baptist died for exposing the sins of others. Jesus died to actually pay for the sins of others.John was great, but we should not follow his model. Our model is Christ. So lets stop telling the world how bad their sin is and lets start sharing how good the Father has always been.

~ Carlos A. Rodriguez

If God were not willing to forgive sin, heaven would be empty

~ German Proverb

Jesus is not a religious leader, He is a Savior. You can enjoy His extravagant love even right after you fall into your extravagant sin.

~ Carlos A. Rodriguez

Intentionally or involuntarily, your earthly and spiritual fathers will lead you the perfect Father. You might not recognize it, but even when they fail, they create the perfect scenario for you to run into your Heavenly Daddy’s arms. When they reject you, He will receive you. When they fail at meeting you, He will open up His schedule. When they miscommunicate with you, He will share His heart of love for you and, His heart of love for them.

~ Carlos A. Rodriguez

There is no sin that Jesus cannot forgive.

~ Jim George

There are two ways of knowing how good God is: one is never to lose Him, and the other is to lose Him and then to find Him.

~ Fulton J. Sheen

We want Allah to forgive us, yet we are not willing to forgive others.Desire the same that you wish for your enemy,Pray for those who harmed you with the same passion that you pray for yourself.Be willing to open heaven’s door for your enemy.The greatest compassion lies in forgiveness.

~ Zarina Bibi

God is love—He is gracious and forgives.

~ Jim George

I am betrayed and played but right now im feeling nothing pain but to forgive, it's because I love God too much that I can't hate.

~ Aka

Do unto others…’ is a good rule of thumb. I live by that. Forgiveness is probably the greatest virtue there is. But that’s exactly what it is - a virtue. Not just a Christian virtue. No one owns being good. I’m good. I just don’t believe I’ll be rewarded for it in heaven. My reward is here and now. It’s knowing that I try to do the right thing. That I lived a good life. And that’s where spirituality really lost its way. When it became a stick to beat people with. ‘Do this or you’ll burn in hell.’ You won’t burn in hell. But be nice anyway.

~ Ricky Gervais

I am still not good enough. I am still not whole enough. I am still not pure enough. I am still weakness and sharp edges and broken, but He is good and pure and whole, all that I strive for but am not. I wake up every morning and I sit in silence and I choose to believe. I may speak. I may not. I let Him wrap up all my broken in to His grace. He takes me imperfect. This is the great mystery I never knew.

~ Anna White

God forgives us, as—when—we forgive them who injure us—and ourselves. These last weeks I think I have understood what many times in the past I thought I knew—but we never know—we never reach the end of understanding—the understanding of God—the mystery of his love...

~ Lucy Beckett

It is only when one knows the unutterability of the name of God that one can utter the name of Jesus Christ, it is only when one loves life and the earth so much that without them everything seems to be over that one may believe in the resurrection and a new world, it is only when one submits to God's law that one may speak of grace, and it is only when God's wrath and vengeance are hanging as grim realities over the heads of one's enemies that something of what it means to love and forgive them can touch our hearts.

~ Dietrich Bonhoeffer

God never tires of forgiving us, we are the ones who tire of seeking his mercy.

~ Pope Francis
