Rejoice! God has given you mercy!

“He hath not dealt with us according to our sins. Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness towards those who fear Him. As far as the east is from the west. So has he removed our transgressions from us. Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him. For He knows our frame. He is mindful that we are but dust.”  Psalms 103:10-14 NAS



We have a merciful Heavenly Father who cares for every area of our lives. When our lives are shattered because of a wrong decision that was made in pride; it is He who knows the reasons much deeper than we do, because He is our Creator.  He cares for you! He loved us first, before we ever knew Him. He knows us inside and out; better than we do ourselves!  He knows when we get off track and our motives become a bit unsavory. He knows when we softly nod affirmatively in agreement and tell; “a little white lie.”

He knows:

All our thoughts

All those secrets

All those things in dark

All our motives

All our discontent

All whisperings

All our steps, going and coming

He literally knows it ALL, sees it All and hears it All.

Because He is ALL.

Many of the woes we have harvested because of our selfish thoughts; are carried throughout some of our lifetimes; even throughout generations. Yet, when we accept Jesus, we receive His gift of Grace and God’s mercy and it is then, that we realize our yield could have produced a thousand times more.  He does not give us all that we deserve to reap. He allows for a crop failure in our lives!

No wonder David prayed to God and asked Him not to hold the sins of his youth against him!

Ditto Lord!

I am extremely thankful that we have such an incredible and merciful God; who loves us to such a high degree; that His ways are past our own understandings!

We have good reasons to be joyful saints!
