What A Gracious God We Have

What A Gracious God We Have.
 We know that despite the times when we wander away from the Lord; getting swept into worldly ways or adopting a careless attitude, His initial response may well be discipline or chastisement, but He is also patience, in spite of our troubles, towards us, even when we stray from His path of righteousness and follow our own foolish ways.
 What a gracious God we have! He will deal with Christians who have wandered far from His outstretched arms of love or when faith wears thin and life seems too much to bear.
 No matter how far any of us have strayed, His promises to the church are sure and His chastening rod may hurt or wound us, but His promise of grace will help and heal.
“Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces; now he will heal us. He has injured us; now he will bandage our wounds.

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, Your promises are true.  You will remain faithful to all Your children, who trust in the Lord as Savior, for which we give You eternal thanks and praise in Jesus name we pray, AMEN.
