So Merciful

Do you realize how gracious, how merciful, and how wonderful God is? He overlooks our daily flaws and shortcomings and continues to have compassion on us.

Psalm 116:5 shouts aloud, "The LORD is gracious and righteous; our God is full of compassion." Here we find the Psalmist sharing the grace of God.  This grace is undeserved and unmerited favor.  When you and I were in our sins God gave His only Son to sacrifice His life that you and I might be redeemed.  This was compassion in its strongest form, love that is incomprehensible. The love of God.

Christ bought me back and redeemed me.  I was headed for destruction. The adversary had swayed me to believe I was right and everyone else was wrong.  But God in His great mercy unveiled my eyes so I was able to see the truth of where I stood in relation to Him.  

At that moment I realized how much I needed God and I was desperate for His mercy.  I cried out, prayed and asked God for deliverance and peace in my life.  And I have found God to be merciful, the Only One able to fill the void in my life.  

If you need His mercy and grace, call upon Him today.  Pray this prayer, "Have mercy on me Lord, I am a sinner." And He will hear your cry.  Scripture declares,"The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth." (Psalm 145:18)  He is a merciful God who deeply cares about you. So if you feel as if no one cares or truly understands where you are.  Remember God does.
