VERSE:

VERSE:
But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he
loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us
together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
-- Ephesians 2:4-5

THOUGHT:
Of all things to be rich in, I cannot think of anything I'd
prefer the Holy God to be rich in than mercy. I know my failures,
shortcomings, sins, and transgressions. Without his mercy, to
pardon again, and without his grace to send Jesus to pardon at
first, I would be lost and without God. Now, because of his rich
mercy, my life is tied to Jesus' future and not the one I earned
for myself.

PRAYER:
Father of all grace and mercy, thank you. Thank you for being
God like you are God. Thank you for extending grace when I have not
deserved it. Thank you for giving mercy when I most needed it.
Thank you for giving life when I thought my life was doomed and
hopeless. May my wealth be in mercy and grace much more than money
and gold. Help me be more like you. In the name of Jesus, my older
Brother and Savior, I pray. Amen.
