The Goodness and the Mercy of the Lord

God’s Mercy endures forever
There is no end to His mercy
His mercies are new every morning
Forgiveness is a mercy and so is protection
Mercies are endless and cross over into all areas of our lives
They are both spiritual and natural

God said to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy
and compassion on whom I will have compassion
God reserves that right as He sees all and knows all
His judgments are righteous and true
Ours are not
Even if we judge with righteous judgment, we are human,
we can make mistakes
We are not given the final authority
And, we will be given the same mercy we have given
What we sow, we will reap
What we measure out will be measured back to us

Give, and it shall be given unto you;
good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over,
shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye mete
withal it shall be measured to you again
. Luke 6:38

If you want to be like Christ, give mercy and goodness
even to those who do not deserve it
Jesus is kind to the unthankful and the evil

God is rich in mercy
Let us follow His lead
Remember the mercy Jesus has shown you, in the depths of your sin,
in your darkest moments, and extend that same mercy to others
Maybe some day we will have the opportunity to carry another’s burdens
While we don’t have the power to forgive like Christ does,
we can lead others to understand God’s mercy and Grace
and His unfailing love toward us

that shall he also reap.

But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest:
for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
