The Mercy And Love Of God

 It is the one who is poor in spirit, who walks humbly before God, and admits their need of salvation while mourning their many sins and turning from their focus on self, that can become merciful and compassionate towards others. It is only the one who is meek in spirit, gentle in heart, and who hungers and thirsts after godly righteousness that can attain to this level of perfection in-Christ. It is only the man or woman who humbly and reverently recognizes the manifold mercies of God's towards them, and His amazing grace in sending His only begotten Son to become the substitute for their sin, who is permitted to bear this fruit of the Spirit.
 In His mercy, God withheld the punishment that we justly deserve, and in His grace He gave His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. In consideration of the great goodness and mercy that has followed us all the days of our life. Should we not be those that in-Christ, demonstrate godly mercy and kindness towards others, in  doing so, we not only reflect The Mercy And Love Of God but we will receive God's bountiful blessing: Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7

Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, how we praise and thank You for Your manifold mercy towards us, in that while we were yet sinners and at enmity with You, You did not give us what we deserved but showed us mercy and love. You redeemed our lives and clothed us in the righteousness of Christ. May we imitate the merciful way that Christ lived, by bestowing Your mercy and compassion on all those with whom we come in contact. May we live as You would have us to live. In Jesus' name and for His glory, AMEN.
