Ephesians 2:4-5 (NKJV) 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)
God has taught me a lot about mercy over the last several years.
He has shown me the importance of it in my own life, as I have reflected on where God has brought me from, and what He has brought me through.
As I look back over the years, I can clearly see where God has shown me mercy and intervened on my behalf in certain situations and circumstances.
Many, if not most, of what God has rescued me from was due to poor decisions and choices on my part. And it’s safe to say that this would be true for most of us if we were all to look back at our lives.
Very rarely did He have to show mercy because of something anyone else had done to me.
I am so very thankful for that mercy. Without it, I really don’t know where I would be today. But I do know it wouldn’t be where I am right now.
It is His great mercy and His grace that I was rescued from my sins and made alive in Christ. And it is by His continued mercy that He holds me up and guides me each day.
Thank you, God, for your mercy toward each of us. Let us see the value of that mercy and get understanding that will help us comprehend it more each day.
Amen
