The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Psalm 103:8 God is slow to anger!! How wonderful is that? He won’t be quick to chide us on our sins, but waits patiently for us to ask for forgiveness. He waits for our repentance. He wants us to be reconciled with him. God is so, so good to us. He has revealed his mercy and grace to the Israelites, His chosen people. Through them he has revealed this to all of us. We have all experienced God’s mercy. Thank goodness it never ceases or come to an end. We can trust in God that when we…

God Will Not Leave You
For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them. Deuteronomy 4:31 Have you thought of God as merciful? Did you ever think that God would leave you, destroy , or forget you and His promises? Have you considered who God is and how we act? Have you forsaken or forgotten God? Are you faithful to God? Do you do you duty to God? I find this interesting that we think that God will leave us, destroy us, or forget. However, He doesn’t. If anyone leaves, forgets, or destroys one another,…

His Mercies Never End
Lamentations 3:22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; God’s mercy never end. Look at our society. There is so many things against God’s word.

He is really quite patient with us. By his mercy we are not consumed. God did not wipe out all the people. He kept his promise in Jeremiah’s day.

His Mercy On Whomever He Wills
For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth. So then he has mercy on whomever he wills and he hardens whomever he wills. Romans 9:17-18 God will reject those who do not accept him. Pharaoh was a stubborn and rebellious person. Unless Pharaoh repented, his hardened heart will be the consequence of not repenting. Now, God was pleased to raise a man to be a great king, not to make him wicked, be who he found to be wicked. Pharaoh had a hardened heart.…

The Merciful
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Matthew 5:7 God is so merciful to us. We are to be imitators of God. As God gives us mercy, we should be willing to off others mercy. Each day of every moment, God gives us His mercy. People need mercy. We, humans make mistakes, we mess up, we sin. We are not perfect, Yet!!! With all of this, God still offers us mercy all day long, when we don’t deserve. When someone wrongs us, whether they know it or not, are we willing to offer mercy to them? Being merciful is being full of sympathy and compassion towards those who…

God’s Love Has Been Poured Into Our Hearts
And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us. Romans 5:5 Hope! We have hope in God and hope, doesn’t put us to shame. God’s hope is not wishful thinking. Man put’s their hope in many, many things that bring them shame. That hope brings them no fulfillment. When man puts their hope in God, they will have no shame. It’s a blessed change when we become a true believer. We are justified by faith, we have peace in God. God’s love has poured into us, we have the…

Rooted and Grounded In God’s Love
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith – that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Ephesians 3:14-19 I remember being a little girl and watching the adults kneeling in prayer. Did you know this is…

Love Much
Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many are forgiven – for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little. Luke 7:47 One of the pharisees invited Jesus to eat at his house. While Jesus reclined at the table, a woman found out that Jesus was there. She brought her alabaster jar of fragrant oil and poured it over His feet. She wiped his feet with her hair and her tears. She anointed his feet with fragrant oil and kissed his feet. It is custom in Jewish culture to wash your guest feet when they enter your home. The pharisee, Simon, who invited Jesus to his house…
