Mercy

Words of Encouragement

You have received more mercy than you will ever fully comprehend. Every moment you deserved one thing and received another — every time the consequence that was coming was withheld and grace was given instead — that was the mercy of Daddy God operating in your life. And the extraordinary thing about mercy received is that it creates the capacity to give mercy away. You cannot pour from an empty cup — but you are not drawing from an empty cup. You are drawing from the inexhaustible, lavish, heaven-high mercy of a Father whose ways are so much higher than anything human instinct can produce. Ask Him today to let that mercy flow through you — to the person who frustrated you, to the one who let you down, to the one who deserves the opposite of what you are about to give them. That is where His ways become your ways. And that is where the world gets to taste something it has never been able to manufacture on its own.
