Just a reminder for all of us…
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.
Revelation 21:5
Go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.
Matthew 9:13
Sweet tender mercy
Please, dear child of God, never forget
the sweet tender mercy of the Lord.
You may have found yourself down and out. Sad or hopeless. You let yourself and others down. Hurt comes raging in from all sides.
And a deep yearning leaves you empty.
So you think, Am I worth anything at all?
Please, dear child of God, remember…
You are loved by the Lord.
You matter dearly to him.
You are a creation of God Almighty, made in his image. This truth gives your life great worth. The work of the hand of God is always good.
No one can love like you love.
No one can give like you give.
And God loves you like no other. His love for you is personal and eternal. God’s love will never be held back from you.
And know this, dear sweet child of God,
when you were hurting, Jesus never left your side. He took the hurt with you, even when you hurt yourself.
He cries with you and feels the same hurt you feel. He holds nothing back to be with you. His way is the way of the cross. Arms wide open he loves you.
And by his blood, you are forgiven. You are made innocent and new in the eyes of God the Father.
Please, dear child of God, never forget
the sweet tender mercy of the Lord.
