Mercy can be defined as kind or forgiving treatment of someone who could be treated harshly.
To be in the presence of God, I need to be holy and perfect. No blemish, no speck of sin.
I don't meet the requirement.
No matter how many good deeds I perform. No matter how many mission trips I go on. No matter how many people I help. No matter how often I attend church services. No matter how much money I give.
I don't meet the requirement.
But then mercy entered the world. His name is Jesus. He bridged the gap that I could never cross to God. He was perfect, spotless, blameless. And He offered me mercy.
He paid with His life. He died on the cross for me and for you. He lived a sinless life so He could be our substitute. He offers us peace with God ...through Jesus.
In His mercy, He forgave me. I am free. I am loved. I am forgiven.
How can I not love and have mercy towards others?
STOP
Blessings and love,

Dear Mercy
ReplyDeleteJust like everything else in our God's economy, mercy also has a name. The name above all names; Jesus!

ReplyDeleteno matter how many times we hear it, it is nice to hear again and again = through His mercy we are forgiven. There is peace in that = thanks Debbie
ReplyDelete''He bridged the gap that I could never cross to God". I hope to one day do that. Great post.
ReplyDeleteI like this!
ReplyDeleteLove this and a question I ask myself often....
ReplyDeleteHi Debby! I know that God brings his mercy to me, and I count on it so much. My challenge is to pass along that mercy, whether I receive it from others or not. It's inspiring that you feel you have no choice but to be merciful. Still working on it!
ReplyDeleteHappy Sunday :)
