Grateful For Your Mercy

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.  Psalm 103:8

Lord Jesus, full of mercy and grace, I thank you this day for looking out for me

Though I am not feeling good, You placed me into the hands of skilled and caring people and they put me on to a strong path for healing

I am grateful for all the care I have recieved

Lord you have blessed my life for good. Even though I have not always deserved it, Still You have cared for me and formed a shield of protection all around my life. 

What could I ever have done to deserve this?

How could I ever thank you enough for blessing my life?

In so many ways your mercy has reached out and surrounded me. It has stepped in and saved me through illness and injury and brought protection when difficult situations suddenly came upon me

When I look back I can see your hands at work in my life and the love that you had for me

And I am grateful Lord, for You have been so good

I see the people you brought near to me. Those who knew and loved me and others who showed up at the right times. They helped show me the way, mended my hurts, and healed my wounds

Each one somehow found the time to help me. Even when their lives were busy and they were dealing with their own things

I see how You hands were at work then, Lord. They are still busy to this day

But, I have not always been thankful, Jesus, and there were times when I took things for granted

Now, I clearly see on this day how You have watched over my life with care

Thank you, Jesus

Your mercy saved my life and healed me

Blessed Savior, I am in awe of Your love and mercy. I am grateful beyond words at how you have cared for me

Life is a journey filled with all the experiences common to life. Yet, it is Your love, mercy, and grace that help carry us through all the hard times

Isn’t it sad that during the good times we may come to forget; And we who have been so blessed by You, fail to remember who has been so good to them each and every day of their life

Oh Lord, you freely give to us each day in full measure

How great is our God, in Jesus Christ. I remember You this day and give thanks

And though I can not even comprehend the depth and width and height of your love, I sense it, feel its power, and understand how it has worked in my life

May I always be thankful, and remember how good you have been to me and be ever grateful for the blessings you have freely given to one so small.  8/21/2026

Shine Gods Light…

In the same way, let your light shine before everyone, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16

Give thanks to the Lord our God, lift up praises unto His name, for He is continually good and loving towards us

We have been given this life.

As like the sun we rise in our morning. By the grace of God, we shine in brightness at our noon hour, yet eventually we come to the end of our day and set below the horizon, and there, all our life shines forth like the color of a magical sunset

Beautiful and mysterious are our lives, Each one is a gift to be treasured, an opportunity to reflect the love and brilliance of our creator

Never dim the light that God has put in you. Don’t shade it because of doubts or fear. Allow as many particles of His light as possible to shine through you, so that the light of His love and truth can encourage others

We are living spirits cast in earthen clay, designed by a blueprint called by our name. A marvelous collection of matter and energy interacts within us during our lifetime, it helps make us who we are

Give thanks to our God for this opportunity to live. May we always give Him praise and our blessing for this incredible gift

For no matter what may happen along our path through life, whether it is for our good or is seemingly bad, all that matters is that He gets the glory.

For the sum of everything created is far less amazing than our glorious creator

Give thanks, fill your life with a spirit of thanksgiving, for you are alive in this time and this place

Our God, who has known you since the beginning of time, brought you here. Why? That is for you to find out

We all must work out our own path towards salvation. The quality of our faith must be forged through our own relationship with God

What we do with the light of His Spirit through the words and truth that He reveals unto us, is to shine forth His light into a darkened world

So that there might be hope where there once was no hope and that love might abound, where only hate and anger once ruled. So that goodness and mercy might break down the walls of doubt, injustice, and corruption; and above all, that God might be magnified and His glory revealed

Life is truly an amazing adventure. It is much more than it seems

For after God shines His light upon us, we are changed. The life that we thought we had before fades before His brilliance and we begin to see anew the incredibly good and beautiful reason for life

Go before your God and praise Him. Pray a new prayer to Him this day

Soak in the light of His life, so that you may shine forth His light and goodness to all the world around you  11/25/2021

Seek Forgiveness

Bee on Poison Oak
But there is forgiveness with You, that You may be awed. Psalms 130:4

The past is fixed in stone, it cannot be moved. What has been done and what has been said can never be changed

No amount of worry can ever alter the past, but, love and a righteous way can heal many wounds and bind up that which has been injured

Scars may remain, but God will forgive all who are faithful, and pour out new life into those who are broken

We fail, and often fall along the way. Our righteousness is never good enough. But, in Christ we are made new each day. No form of transgression that overcomes us, will cause us to lose our position in Christ

We sin, get back upon your feet. Our faith is found lacking, return to God with a humble spirit

Confess your sins before Him. Ask of His forgiveness. Repent, and pour your heart out to Him and He will be just to forgive you

Truly, our God is full of love for His children, and though every believer will sometimes fail, in Christ we are made victorious

Resist sin, cleanse yourself from all unrighteousness. Do not allow yourself to become its slave, but seek God’s forgiveness so that you might be restored to health again. For all who sin must pay a severe price.

Remember, judgement begins within the house of God. We who are faithful, will not be spared the direct negative effects of sin, because our physical  past is fixed in stone.

How unpleasant is the withdrawing of God’s sweet presence to all those who have known communion with Him, and how great is the sense of guilt, when we realize our sins have been done against our Lord

The one who has given us all good things, even eternal life, Our savior Jesus Christ, went to the cross and suffered incalculable pain, so that our sins might be taken away

How great then, is the destructive weight of our sin. What complete displeasure our God must feel, that He would go so far as to offer up His Son on our behalf

We cannot do anything about the past, but we can resolve each day to live an obedient life unto Him, and to take up our own cross in respect, awe, and in faith. 10/27/2006
