mercy

Five Minute Friday!!! :)

So often I fall,
and tarnish the name of Christ.

Forgive me Father,
for I have sinned.

Mercy.
Oh Savior,
have mercy on me,
a sinner.

And yet,
honestly?
Where do I extend this mercy?
I'm far too often quick to seek justice,
look  for wrong to be made right.

Yes, He's a God of justice-
God who makes the broken right-
then these words-

No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
    and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
    and to walk humbly with your God.
Micah 6:8

This is my calling- our calling.
to do what is right, to love mercy,
    and to walk humbly with your God.

He pours out grace and mercy-
gifts of love,
paid for by blood of Him,
final and perfect sacrifice.

Here- take freely of it.

But O people, as Micah says-
give it. Love it.
Make it the very essence of who you are.

All because of love.


Love:)
