MERCY

Psalm 34:11-22

Oh my Lord! We people are so weak! So incapable! So far behind and distant from where you are! We are like little infants failing to adequately respond to the loving care and blessings of our eternal mother. She lavishes her little baby with such love, such tenderness, such concern; and all we can do is say a few meaningless words, follow dead routines, and flail are body in what we call "service" and "worship" and "generosity"! Whatever! These things are so small compared to the awesomeness that God has given us! Only by his great mercy can our feeble attempts to return love be accepted.

Psalm 34:22 reads, "The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him." So wonderful! And yet so obvious!! If God is the source of love and we are her children, then by choosing to follow her we choose a life of love everlasting; but if we choose to reject God, then we choose against such love... perhaps forever... Such ungrateful children we are, even those of us that do follow. We cannot repay our parents for the love and care they have invested and poured out on us, and yet good parents will love us yet, unconditionally, simply for being their children, wanting only our love in return. There is no condemnation for children of God who do not reject their father in heaven.


I love God! :) Do you? Please tell me about it!!!
