Father God let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
It reads is Romans 5:7-11; For one will hardly die for a righteous man, though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.
I know that we show mercy to our children most of the time. Except when we say no more. Then we are the worse parent ever because we want them to do for themselves. To some adult children or other family members. But hey! We were not meant to do it all for everybody. We were meant to take care of ourselves also. I love how those family members who work right alongside of you, and everything works out just fine. I had a friend from church that I saw on the side of the road needing assistance for her and her children. My heart just felt like it dropped. This was someone I see more than my own family. Church family is closer than most. Why? Because I see church family every week. In the olden days family went to church together. Just saying. I know I see someone on the side of the road needing help my heart don’t drop like wow that is my sister in Christ or brother in Christ. But I do help if I have the resources. It means showing undeserved forgiveness or kindness. Mercy is given by a person in authority, who is also often the one who has been wronged. To show mercy is to offer relief to someone in a miserable state. You know God I don’t have a switch of heart. I think God’s heart drops for all of us all the same. I think when a person denies God that is when His heart drops.
But God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Luke 1:50
And his mercy is for those who fear him from generation to generation.
So even if people are not close, because they choose not to be for selfish reasons or they are close cause you know them and spend more time with them. We should show mercy to all. So that they can in turn learn to show mercy to others also.
{Let’s Pray}
Father God, I thank You and praise You for Your mercy to Your Children. I believe even though I was dead in trespasses and sins and at enmity with You, I have been called by You and chosen to be a child of God and a joint heir with Christ. I thank You and praise You for Church family that are close to You. I thank You and praise You that I am washed in the blood by grace through faith in Jesus and have been made a new creation in Jesus Christ. I believe I will put on a heart of compassion, kindness, forgiveness, humility, gentleness and patience, so that Jesus Christ is all and all in my life in His Precious Name Amen.
