MERCY AND LOVE
Today's reading: Psalm 50-55

"Have mercy on me, O God, because of your unfailing love. Because of your great compassion, blot out the stain of my sins." Psalm 51:1 NLT

I'm going to go out on a limb here and make this statement for both of us...

God's mercy and love are undeserved.

Unmerited.

Favors bestowed on our lives.

Because we, once again I'm lumping you in with me, don't deserve it.

Our best deeds fall short.

Our thoughts aren't always pleasing.

We don't always choose to obey.

We wake up some mornings and are most unlovable.

So we, you and I, need, desperately need, God's mercy and love.

Wouldn't you agree?
