God's Promise Of Mercy



 
 
He came to save us, not because of any virtuous deed that we have done but only because of his extravagant mercy.  Titus 3:5 (TPT)
So now we come freely and boldly to where love is enthroned, to receive mercy’s kiss and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us in our time of weakness.  Hebrews 5:16  (TPT)

Lord we know that mercy is one of the highest blessings you have to offer.  Sadly today’s society views it as a weakness and prides itself on strength, confidence and independence.  Father we cry out for mercy not only for ourselves but for our loved ones and friends.  May your mercy bring people to a place of forgiveness and a dependence on your grace.  Lord we thank you for the mercy of your Son Jesus who took our place on the cross.  We thank you for your abounding love and kindness.

Amen

Promise of Forgiveness

 

 
But if we freely admit our sins when his light uncovers them, he will be faithful to forgive us every time.  God is just to forgive us our sins because of Christ, and he will continue to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1John 1:9 (TPT)

 
For I will demonstrate my mercy to them and will forgive their evil deeds, and never remember again their sins. 
Hebrews 8:12 (TPT)

 
Lord thank you for your gift of forgiveness.  Your love and mercy overwhelms us in spite of our faults and failures.  We clothe ourselves in your love and we won't allow our emotions to control our actions.  May your word saturate our minds and direct our thoughts.  We understand that there are no levels to your love.  We are all your children and know that your desire is that none of us would perish. 

Amen
