The Wonderful Mercy

" For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
             -John 3:16

There is no other way to understand our Gods mercy to all of His children. Mercy was with all His children, mercy came down to earth ,it was tortured and nailed, died to show the extend of love to us and resurrected; to be in us always at all time. Mercy encompass us no matter however we go astray from this loving Kindness.

We sometimes behave cruelly to Gods love for gaining our wishes.We may sometime compromise His plans with our plans even though we are aware of its consequences. Even by knowing the great love of our lord, we forget Him,we never thank Him. But God never forgets us,He never stops loving us, He is always merciful,always reaching His hands to us. 

Why God is always merciful us? Is he not fed up on us? 

"God has been kind to you. He has been very patient, waiting for you to change. But you think nothing of his kindness. Maybe you don’t understand that God is kind to you so that you will decide to change your lives."
-Romans 2:4

God is kind to us so that we will decide to repent and change our lives.No matter how we are,how mean we are, how untrue we are in our love to Him, God waits for us patiently. His mercy towards us is without measure.

"But God is rich in mercy, and he loved us very much. We were spiritually dead because of all we had done against him. But he gave us new life together with Christ. (You have been saved by God’s grace.)"
-Ephesians 2:4-5

Let us receive this new life together. Let us do a simple thing for Him,"Trust in Him and Jesus".

"Your goodness and mercy will be with me all my life,
    and I will live in the Lord’s house a long, long time."Psalms 23:6

Let us reflect on our lives. Let us realize how wonderfully Gods mercy has protected us. Let us repent on our unrighteousness. Let us return to the eternal satisfaction, to our Lord- the Inexhaustible source of mercy.

"This is the Lord’s message:
    “Now come back to me with all your heart.
Cry and mourn, and don’t eat anything!
    Show that you are sad for doing wrong.
13 Tear your hearts,
    not your clothes.[a]
Come back to the Lord your God.
    He is kind and merciful.
He does not become angry quickly.
    He has great love."-Joel 2:12-13


Oh lord ,Untiring giver of mercy,help us to realize our iniquities, help us to realize your marvelous touch of mercy in our life. Guide us back to You,so that we can always stand for You in this world and help others to get to You.Amen
