Mercy

God gives us brand new mercies every single morning (Lam. 3:22-23).  Thank God for this because I surely feel like I exhaust every single mercy the day before.  Ha!  Seriously, we need His mercies daily.  Life presents us so many problems..and temptations.  I still come very close to falling into temptation BUT because of HIS mercies (not mine LOL), I am saved from even myself.

Here is a question to ask:  How do we respond to this generous mercy?  Do we hoard it up or do we pass it along.  I will be honest.  When my kids or husband upset me, I do not "feel" like showing them a heart that has been indulged with mercy (and grace).  I struggle with this.  I want to teach them or prove a point and while there is a time for that..it is not ALL the time.

May God help me be a more gracious, merciful person to those I love.

Amen
