I Need Your Mercy

I need Your mercy

I need Your grace

I need Your Hand

Leading the way

I can't make it without You

Not for one day

I need Your mercy

I need Your grace

      I have had this song stuck in my head for most of the day. You know, so many times, people think about the judgement of God - and that's not necessarily a bad thing to do, because we will definitely be judged by God one day. But God is also a merciful God. His mercy goes beyond our understanding...beyond our comprehension. When I was younger, every time I would hear the word "mercy", I would think of a game we used to play (or, I'm sure, some of us still play every once in a while!). I never really knew what mercy meant. 

      Webster's Dictionary defines mercy as: compassion or forbearance shown especially to an offender or to one subject to one's power; a blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion 

      I know this doesn't really define God's mercy near to its extent. But, today, I have been really thankful for the mercy of God. We, as humans, do bad things. It happens. We mess up. Like I said, we are humans. But, our God is merciful.

      I am just really thankful for the mercy of God. Jesus, I need Your mercy and I need You grace. I honestly, like the song says, can't make it without You - not for one day. Thank You, Lord, for Your Mercy.
