Mercy

MERCY

Mercy, or loving-kindness, appear to be entwined together and all Gods' believing people will have experienced and enjoyed this precious attribute of a Saviour-God.

I simply want to testify concerning His mercy toward me. Having come under chastisement as a son, I cried out to Him taking up something of the sentiments of Hezekiah when he knew he was to die.

I too stood on the brink of eternity, eleven years ago today! My Consultant had described my condition as a "walking time-bomb!" I desperately needed a triple heart-bypass operation. A terrifying prospect, I cast myself upon the mercy of my God and implored Him for the sake of the Name of His lovely Son that He would bring me safely through the procedure. HE DID!

I have enjoyed quite good health ever since, and not a single pain or complication connected with my previous condition. Not only have these precious blessings been vouchsafed to me, but He has helped me to view more fully, all things in the light of eternity, to see them somewhat as He does; and He has permitted me to serve Him, though falteringly, ever since.

"For Thy mercy (loving-kindness) is great unto the heavens, and Thy truth unto the clouds;" "For great is Thy mercy (loving-kindness) toward me;" 

"Mercy glories over judgement;" "Ye have....seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion (tender mercy) and pitiful."

Psalm 57:10 & Psalm 86:13; James 2:13; 5:11.

I allow the Scriptures of truth, Old and New Testaments alike, to speak for themselves, and thereby for Him!
