Grace gives us what we do not deserve. Mercy removes the
punishment we do deserve and puts in its place, compassion. God’s mercies, His
compassions are new every morning. Need forgiveness? Want to forget yesterday?
God wipes the slate clean as we turn back to Him asking, once again, for Him to
be merciful to us.
Because
of the Lord’s great love, we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning, great is Your
faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22:23
The faithfulness of God is not of
this earth. We give up on others. We get angry and bitter and are filled with unforgiveness.
Not Him. His compassion and His mercy know no bounds. They are new every
morning. Great is His faithfulness.
Lord,
We return to You time and again with our sinful natures, but
You keep encouraging us and building us up with Your kindness, Your grace, Your
faithfulness and Your compassion. Here we are again, Lord.
Amen
