scripture

 

Nehemiah 9:17

 

They refused to listen and failed to remember the miracles you performed among them. They became stiff-necked and in their rebellion appointed a leader in order to return to their slavery. But you are a forgiving God, gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love. Therefore you did not desert them,

 

En Espanol, Nehemías 9:17

 

name

 

The verse above calls God - Eloah Selichot, The God of Forgiveness.  God’s forgiveness is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, even in the face of rebellion and disobedience as we read of in Israel’s history and even our own.

 

quote

 

There is no love without forgiveness, and there is no forgiveness without love.
