Rich in Mercy

Ephesians 2: 4 – 5

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved).

Hallelujah!  Even in those times when you have to face your shortcomings, there is always this great word. God loved you beyond reason yesterday, and the day before that. And He knows your heart. He sees your goodness even when you fail miserably. But don’t use all your energy trying to succeed; in anything, even Christian things. Give up, give in and let God in. Use your energy in prayer, praise and thanksgiving and let Him do all of the heavy lifting for you. He loves you so much and He wants to help. As you expose all of your “stuff” to Him, He heals, soothes and comforts. He longs to take you into His arms and heal you. You don’t have to be so strong. You were never called to be tough. You were called to be His child. You were called to be the object of His love and attention. You can do that, can’t you? Let Him love you. That is His job. He is rich in mercy. He has more than enough. Receive an additional measure of Him today because He loves you with all His being.
