Mercy is the act of showing compassion, clemency and kindness towards another person. When God shows us mercy, He demonstrates that He does not treat us as we deserve. He will have mercy on whom He will have mercy.
The bible says in Lamentations 3:22-23, “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”. God’s mercy is great and He will not let you fall into the hands of your enemies. His great mercy and love are from old and He will always remember you. He is a good God and He loves you with an everlasting love. Let your soul take refuge in Him and He will have mercy on you.
The Lord knows that you use up His mercy on a daily basis; hence His mercies are fresh every morning. He shows you mercy because of His compassion for you. He hears you when you cry out for mercy because He is your strength and shield. He has redeemed you and He will carry you on His wings. As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
Even in His wrath, God shows mercy because His ways are eternal. But, be careful not to take His grace and mercy for granted! As God is so merciful, He wants us to show mercy and compassion to one another. We should not oppress our brethren and not think evil of each other. If you are merciful to your brethren, you will be shown mercy. God’s mercy extends to those who fear Him from generation to generation. In view of God’s mercy, we should offer our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to Him.
Sometimes, we forget that each day is a second chance offered to us because of the great mercy of God. As He is a God of second chances, we can choose to live with thankfulness, for His mercy and Grace. We can also have confidence in His faithful care and with the hope that He is with us forever.
Child of God, I encourage you to make the most of the second chance God is offering you. He opens the door to a brand new day and with it comes mercies from His gracious hand. Always remember that it is a privilege from the Almighty, and not our right.
God’s way is to give us fresh mercies every day. His name is LOVE and His mercies will never fail. As a child of God, clothe yourself with compassion and kindness for others, just as the Lord does for you. In our walk with God, we should strive to be Christ-like and glorify God at all times. PEACE
