Forgiveness ought to be like a cancelled note—torn in two and burned up, so that it never can be shown against one.
Henry Ward Beecher
You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.
Jeremiah 29:13
The English Standard Version
God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with.

For a long generation we have been engaged in simplifying the Gospel, in saying to the intellectually perplexed, “You need not believe that.” We have pared down the Gospel, shrunk and reduced it until in our churches, preachers have sometimes seemed to be playing a game to see how little a man may believe and still be a Christian.
Harry Emerson Fosdick
Since you have been chosen by God who has given you this new kind of life, and because of his deep love and concern for you, you should practice tenderhearted mercy and kindness to others. Don’t worry about making a good impression on them, but be ready to suffer quietly and patiently. Be gentle and ready to forgive; never hold grudges. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
Colossians 3:12-13
The Living Bible
“I’ll not take your money, Pastor,” Old John insisted after the Saturday shoe shining was completed. “You shine my soul on Sunday, and I’ll shine your shoes on Saturday.” “From that time on,” said the minister, “I made a special effort to be helpful in every sermon of mine and in all my other speaking—to shine people’s souls.”

I am sorry for the men who do not read the Bible every day. I wonder why they deprive themselves of the strength and the pleasure.

Honor the Lord with your possessions, And with the firstfruits of all your increase; So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.

“When you have eaten and are satisfied, you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you.”
Deuteronomy 8:10
The New American Standard Bible
Grant me, O Lord, the royalty of inward happiness and the serenity which comes from living close to Thee. Daily renew in me the sense of joy, fill every corner of my heart with light and life that I may be a diffuser of life and meet all ills and troubles with gallant high-hearted happiness, giving Thee thanks always for all things. Amen.

Forgiveness is a strange thing. It can sometimes be easier to forgive our enemies than our friends. It can be hardest of all to forgive people we love. Like all of life’s important coping skills, the ability to forgive and the capacity to let go of resentments most likely take root very early in our lives.
Fred Rogers
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.
2 Corinthians 5:21
The New American Standard Bible
How often do we need to see God’s face, hear His voice, feel His touch, know His power? The answer to all these questions is the same: Every day!

There is only one thing evil cannot stand and that is forgiveness.

“He who is not with Me is against Me; and he who does not gather with Me scatters.”
Matthew 12:30
The New American Standard Bible
In Scotland there lived an old woman who believed implicitly in the efficacy of prayer. One night two young rogues heard her praying for bread. As a joke, they brought two loaves from the village baker, climbed to the roof of the cottage and dropped them down the chimney. Later, they called at the old woman’s home to hear her tell of what she considered a miraculous answer to her prayer. The scamps then laughed at the old woman, and related how they themselves had dropped the loaves down the chimney. The old woman’s faith was not shaken. “I still say God sent it,” she declared, “though the devil’s imps may have brought it.”

Forgive me, most gracious Lord and Father, if this day I have done or said anything to increase the pain of the world. Pardon the unkind word, the impatient gesture, the hard and selfish deed, the failure to show sympathy and kindly help where I had the opportunity, but missed it; and enable me so to live that I may daily do something to lessen the tide of human sorrow, and add to the sum of human happiness.
F. B. Meyer
“This is what the LORD says to you: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army. For the battle is not yours, but God’s. Tomorrow march down against them. They will be climbing up by the Pass of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the gorge in the Desert of Jeruel. You will not have to fight this battle. Take up your positions; stand firm and see the deliverance the LORD will give you, Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Go out to face them tomorrow, and the LORD will be with you.’”
2 Chronicles 20:15-17
The New International Version
For every step you take toward God, God takes two steps toward you; and if you come to God walking, God comes to you running.
