The Grace of God

The boundless mercy of our Redeemer! (anonymous) LISTEN to Audio! Download Audio "The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love!" Psalm 145:8 In our quiet moments of reflection, let us ponder the boundless mercy of our Redeemer, whose love knows no end. As God's redeemed people, we are the recipients of His unfathomable grace, poured out upon us despite our wickedness and unworthiness. In the depths of our sinfulness and rebellion--God in His mercy chose to save us and make us His sons and daughters! Truly, His mercy reaches beyond our understanding, cleansing us from every stain of sin and setting us free from the chains of guilt and shame! Let us not take lightly the magnitude of our Redeemer's mercy towards us. It is a mercy that cost Him dearly--for it was through His sin-atoning sacrifice, that we have been redeemed. As we meditate on that wondrous cross, may we be overwhelmed by the depth of His love, and the extent of His mercy toward undeserving, ill-deserving, and Hell-deserving sinners such as we are. In times of trial and temptation, let us cling to the promise of God's mercy. His mercy is our refuge and strength--a steadfast anchor in the storms of life! May we never cease to marvel at the mercy of our Redeemer. Let us give thanks for His unending love and faithfulness. And may we strive to walk in obedience to His will, knowing that His mercy will sustain us through all the storms and sorrows of life! "May you have the power to understand, as all God's people should--how wide, how long, how high, and how deep His love is! May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully!" Ephesians 3:18-19
