Mercy & Compassion

 
 
'Where is the god who can compare with You -
wiping the slate clean of guilt,
Turning a blind eye, a deaf ear,
to the past sins of your purged and precious people?
You don't nurse Your anger and don't stay angry long,
for mercy is Your specialty. 
That's what You love most.
 
And compassion is on its way to us.
You'll stamp out our wrongdoing.
You'll sink our sins to the bottom of the ocean.
 
You'll stay true to Your word to Father Jacob
and continue the compassion You showed Grandfather Abraham -
Everything You promised our ancestors from a long time ago.'
~    Micah 7:18 - 20 {The Message}    ~

  5. A lovely verse - describing in a fresh way how God's compassion knows no limits!
    Love the figurative speech "you sink our sins to the bottom of the ocean" - we're surely forgiven!

Welcome to the table, friend!

This is where we gather and hang out. I'd love for you to pull up a chair and jump right into the conversation. Or simply say 'hello.'

l'll be dropping in to visit you sometime soon ...
