Quotes about Reconciliation

As Proverbs 17:9 reminds us, peace is more likely when one forgets about past wrongs as opposed to reminding others of them.

Lord, You have extended such grace to me. You have forgiven my wickedness and remembered my sins no more. (Heb. 8:12) Help me to demonstrate my gratitude by forgiving others!

Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him. (2 Sam. 14:14)

God is never in the wrong when He and one of His children are separated; yet He devises ways so that the banished person may not remain estranged from Him. Never underestimate the significance of timing when it comes to mending. You may not get another chance.

Those that we need to forgive most often grasp the least how much they've hurt us. If they understood and took responsibility, it wouldn't take the cross to forgive them. It could just happen over coffee...'Father I forgive them in Christ's name, for they don't understand what they did.

God remembers our sins no more because the work of the cross already has. No further sacrifice remains for sin because the work has already been accomplished. Therefore, God need never act again on their behalf.
