...mercy...

There is a lot of power packed in that little word.

Easton’s Bible Dictionary defines mercy as ‘compassion for the miserable’ and ‘forbearance to inflict harm under circumstances of provocation’.

I find myself humbled in consideration of this word. I am miserable. I have provoked. I am undeserving. Yet He has offered mercy.

I try to be perfect and faultless... I wish I could say my efforts are to please Him but, If I’m being honest, it’s because I fear rejection and punishment of the world and the people in it. At the end of the day... at the end of EVERY day, I’ve failed. I’ve messed up more times than I can count. If I could count my faults, I may better understand and appreciate the acceptance and divine love I take for granted. I want to fully know God’s mercy... I am so glad I get to fully experience it until forever!
