“Above all, you ask if the God of Christians forgives those who do not believe and who do not seek faith. Given the premise, and this is fundamental, that the mercy of God is limitless for those who turn to him with a sincere and contrite heart, the issue for the unbeliever lies in obeying his or her conscience.” IfsFirstsBelieveHeartChristianLyingTurnsAsksLimitsConscienceMercyFundamentalsForgivingAsk MeSincereBelieve In GodPremisesObeyingMercy Of God Author:Pope Francis
“Nothing stirs God’s heart more than a humble heart and a merciful spirit. God responds to mercy, because it is through compassion that we fully come to know Him. This is the defining quality of a true follower of Christ. We are never closer to the heart of God than when we are forgiving someone. And we are never farther from it than when we are holding a grudge.” KnowsHeartSpiritChristQualityCompassionMercyForgivingHumbleFollowersDefiningMercifulGrudgeHumble Heart Author:Nicky Cruz
“A personal offense is like a scratch on a phonograph record. I couldn't move my thoughts beyond my pain. It kept repeating, as if I were stuck within its grooves.

“True friends see who we really are, hear our words and the feelings behind them, hold us in the safe harbor of their embrace, and accept us as we are. Good friends mirror our best back to us, forgive us our worst, and believe we will evolve into wise, wacky, and wonderful old people. Dear friends give us their undivided attention, encourage us to laugh, and entice us into silliness. And we do the same for them. A true friend gives us the courage to be ourselves because he or she is with us always and in all ways. In the safety of such friendships, our hearts can fully open.” PeopleWayGivingBelieveHeartFeelingsFriendshipBehindsAttentionAcceptingLaughingWiseWonderfulWorstSafeMirrorsSafetyEmbraceForgivingDearEvolveGood FriendOld PeopleTrue FriendHarborsOur WordsDear FriendWackySillinessUndivided AttentionSafe Harbor Author:Sue Thoele

“What right has a man to ask Jesus to forgive him, when his heart is still burning with hatred or festering with grudges against a fellow-creature?

“Dear lost sinner, if you are a wicked sinner, yet you do not have to die and go to Hell forever. If you are a criminal or a harlot, a blasphemer, a drunkard, a convict, or a dope fiend, God does not want you to go to Hell. People do not go to Hell simply because they are sinners. Rather they go because they will not repent of their sins! If you today will confess your sins to God, and in your poor, helpless heart, will, as far as you know how, turn away from your sin, God will have mercy and will forgive and save.” PeopleIfsKnowsWantHeartDoeGodTodayChristianDiesTurnsLostReligiousSinPoorLordKnow HowHellForeverForgivenessMercyForgivingDearCriminalsChristian InspirationalGods WillWickedSinnerRepentanceEditorsTrust In GodConfessionHelplessPastorRepentAlcoholicsConfidence In GodDopeGo To HellGod Within UsMighty GodDrunkardsConvictsConnecting With GodSave YourselfGod Help MeHarlots Book:The Ruin of a Christian Source: The Ruin of a Christian
