Mercy

February 24, 2013 by adaisygarden

The Lord is gracious and merciful;
Slow to anger and great in lovingkindness.
Psalm 145:8

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.
Luke 6:36

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
Matthew 5:7

Have a blessed Sunday!!

Daisy

It’s official – there is a conspiracy out to force me into showing mercy to one who does not deserve it! Thank you for your obedience – I am starting to get it through my thick skull that mercy is better than sacrifice, obedience better than many offerings. (Sheesh!) 🙂

  Ha! I know how you feel! I recently read a quote that really hit me…
  “Grace is getting what we do not deserve.
  Mercy is not receiving what we do deserve.”
  When I think of the many times God has forgiven me… it makes it easier to forgive others who I really have a hard time forgiving or who don’t ask for forgiveness. (I said “easier” not “easy”!) 🙂

    I have more than most to forgive – but I’m getting there!

The rose is beautiful–and the perfect illustration for a post on mercy.

  Thanks, Sheryl. Roses are a gift, aren’t they?! Just like mercy. 🙂

Lovely rose and lovely words! Daisy, I appreciate His mercy everyday. Being a parent gives us plentiful opportunities to give it and need it! 😉
