(Mercy, Mercy)
Oh Loving God. That is how I address the Father, My Father, your Father.
He is all about Love. We think that perhaps He will judge us harshly.
When judgement is tempered with Unconditional Love you get Mercy.
He knows what we have done yet continues to Love us unconditionally.
Again, when we love it is not unconditional. We stand in bitter, angry judgment.
God’s judgment is so tempered with marvelous, Life-Giving Mercy that we all stand a second, third, fourth, etc. chance.
He, God, never stops giving us every opportunity to return to Him with gala hearts.
Hearts renewed by His Awesome Forgiveness and Mercy.
He never counts how many times He has had to do it for us in the past.
He simply pours it forth at the moment it is needed.
We need not worry that perhaps He will forget. He cannot and does not.
What great consolation!
He has Mercy in over-abundance so we can call on it anytime to activate it in our hearts.
His Mercy is always free flowing yet if we have shut our hearts, it cannot enter and heal all that needs healing.
When we say “Have mercy on me Lord,” He knows that your heart is open and ready to receive the Grace, the Gift of Mercy.
Do not shy away from asking for My Mercy.
Only then will it be able to enter and refresh your soul.
You can, by free choice, keep it out by not asking for it to enter and take hold and renew you.
Yes, you can reject this great gift of Mercy, but why in heavens name would you want to?
In most cases it is because of our pride!
We may not want to admit our wrongs.
We may feel that what we did was not really wrong at all.
So, our stubborn pride can most certainly keep His Mercy from abiding within us.
Do you dare to be so full of pride?
Do you not see the consequences of pride?
