The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving,
even though we have rebelled against him."
Daniel 9:9
We know that our God is merciful and extends grace to all
even though we don't deserve it. At times the grace and mercy of God is beyond
our human comprehension. When we tell the Lord we are truly sorry, He
immediately extends mercy to us - so much so that it sometimes takes our breath
away. Other times we find it difficult to accept. Are we able to extend mercy
to others as He does to us? We can only do so through the supernatural work of
the Holy Spirit in our hearts.
It is the mercy of God that melts and transforms our lives. God's
mercy takes a hardened sinner and turns him or her into a Christ-like saint of
God. That is each one of us. As we examine our lives, we find that we are
hopelessly lost and cannot help ourselves or others...but the mercy of God
steps in and we are changed from glory to glory. Thank God for His mercy
extended to us through our wonderful savior.
