Dear Saints, we know that the Lord is merciful. He looks down upon us, considers our frames, and through the shed blood of Jesus, forgives our sins so that we might dwell with Him in peace.
But He is more than merciful. He has great mercy. His mercy extends far beyond what we consider prudent or just or even wise. His mercy is lavish. It goes beyond the pale. Like the father of the prodigal, He reaches down to us and extends His kindness, love and joy to us. We may squander His lavishness but when we come to our senses and return to Him, He kills the fatted calf and throws a feast in our honor. That is great mercy.
