Old places of conflict will require new resolution, but I will cause you to move through it with grace if you determine to forgive every offense old or new. This is not a time to become outraged or renew old grudges. You’ve heard it said that a soft answer turns away wrath, and that is indeed the truth. I am a God of mercy, and I show mercy to the merciful, says the Lord.
Psalm 18:24-28 Therefore the LORD has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to the cleanness of my hands in His sight . With the merciful You will show Yourself merciful; with a blameless man You will show Yourself blameless; with the pure You will show Yourself pure; and with the devious You will show Yourself shrewd. For You will save the humble people, but will bring down haughty looks. For You will light my lamp; the LORD my God will enlighten my darkness.
