David Jeremiah Quotes

No one perfectly loves God who does not perfectly love some of his creatures.

I'm afraid we live at the mercy of a power, maybe a God, without mercy. And yet we find it, as I have, from others.

When we love like Jesus does, lives change for the better.

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come.

You may call God love, you may call God goodness. But the best name for God is compassion.

God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person.

And you know, when you've experienced grace and you feel like you've been forgiven, you're a lot more forgiving of other people. You're a lot more gracious to others.

First of all, I am a man of God, and God is love. My expressions are always going to be about love.

I'm so grateful for just the inherent mercy of life.

Graciousness is the fruit of someone who knows how badly they themselves need grace.

Who will not mercy unto others show, How can he mercy ever hope to have?

Forgiveness is the best charity. (It is easy to give the poor money and goods when one has plenty, but to forgive is hard; but it is the best thing if one can do it.)

Let there always be a preponderance of mercy with you, even though you don't feel such mercy in yourself, as God has for the world ... A cruel and merciless heart is never purified. A merciful man is the doctor of his own soul, because as it were a by a strong wind from is heart he drives out the darkness of the passions.

I am sure that no man asks mercy and grace with true meaning, but if mercy and grace have first been given him.

As you pray for forgiveness, you will find yourself forgiving others. As you thank God for His kindness, you will think of others, by name, who need your kindness. Again, that experience will surprise you every day, and over time it will change you.

Forgive and give as if it were your last opportunity.

Where mercy is shown, mercy is given.

If we have no mercy toward others, that is one proof that we have never experienced God's mercy.
