Reflect

Have you ever watched forgiveness, grace and mercy play out? It first plays out as God shows us grace, mercy, and forgiveness when we accept him as Lord and Savior.  It is truly “amazing grace”!  But have you seen it in the life of a believer towards others or have you yourself lived it?  I am so thankful that I have experienced it from God in my own life and that he continually shows me mercy and grace daily.

However, I am currently in a season of watching it lived out in the life of someone I love as they extend to another what God has so abundantly given to them.  Forgiveness for past hurts and mercy to heal regrets and broken hearts.  I do not believe this can be done outside of a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the One who “upholds all who fall, and raises up all who are bowed down”.

Look for and experience the grace and mercy of God today.

Pray

Thank you, Lord, that you are gracious and full of compassion.  You truly are good to all and your tender mercies are over all your works.  Show us how you would have us live and give us courage with humility to live like Christ today.

Go with God!
