Micah 7:19-20 He will turn again, he
will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast
all their sins into the depths of the sea. Thou wilt perform the truth to
Jacob, and the mercy to
Abraham, which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
Dear Saints, it is comforting to be in the presence of
a gracious Father. We know that we do not always measure up to His expectations
and yet we find Him full of favor, compassion and mercy. This compassion and
mercy subdues our sins and rebellions. His love, kindness, mercy and grace
makes us want to love and serve Him in appreciation.
It is His love that motivates our love. This is the way of
man with a woman, a father with his sons and daughters, a mother towards her
children, Christ towards His Church. The lover motivates love.
Furthermore, the lover is full of forgiveness. Tumultuous
wrongs are forgiven and forgotten, thrown into the depths of the sea so that
the calm waters return to the surface. Mercy and grace, God’s kindness to us in
Jesus Christ.
