" MERCY "

I must Confess that this weeks subject is one that I find challenging at times. It is not my job to decide the outcome of any one's Prayer Concern, but to take them all to the Throne Of Grace. Having Mercy is something that must be practiced by me daily. For this reason I pray for The Perfect Will Of God Always. God's Mercy is unbelievable. It goes far beyond what we can imagine. Even if some have walked away from God in the past and ruined their lives, God will still take us back. If we listen God will give inward Spiritual Renewal (Circumcise Our Hearts). God wants to forgive us and bring us back to himself too. I'm afraid that some people will not learn this until their world has crashed in around them. Then the sorrow and pain seem to open their eyes to what God has been saying all along. Time for some honesty, are you separated from God by Sin? No matter how far you have wandered, God promises a fresh beginning if only you will turn to Him. Countless times throughout the Bible we see God showing his Love and Patience toward Men and Women in order to SAVE them. Although he realizes that their hearts are evil, he continues to try to reach them. When we sin or Fall Away From God, we surely deserve to be destroyed by his judgment. But God has promised Never Again to destroy everything on earth until the Judgment Day when Christ Returns to destroy evil forever. Now every change of season is a reminder of his promise. LAST POINT: Jesus tells us to: " Be Kind to One Another, Tender-Heart ed, Forgiving Each Other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you. " If you think for a moment, we see in the Lord's Prayer - " Forgive us our debts as we also have forgiven our debtors." God does not forgive us we forgive others, but solely because of his great Mercy. As we come to understand his Mercy, however, we will want to be like him. Having received forgiveness, we will pass it on to others. Now, those who are unwilling to forgive even those who crucified him. Now, have Mercy on those who hurt you, even multiple times. Until Next Time... Jim,
