God is truly rich in mercy towards us. How should you respond to His great mercy?
WHY DOES THIS MATTER:
Because God is merciful, I know I am forgiven through Jesus. Because God is merciful, I also know that His mercy continues to be available to me in amazing ways.
TAKING ACTION:
When was the last time you complained about how bad things were? When was the last time you thanked God for the countless ways He shows mercy towards you every day?
When we think of God's rich mercy and thank Him for each act of mercy towards us, our thoughts consider His great compassion for us. How can you remind yourself and others of God's rich mercy? How should you respond to others?
