Mercy and Grace
Mercy is that do not receive that (damnation) I deserve.
Grace is that I receive that I do not deserve.
Every time I think, I feel like prodigal son, always intend to say to my FATHER,
Luke 15:18-20 NIV
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned(F)against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
But the Father never let him finish the sentence. He called him Son. You have called me a son when I am not worthy to called even a servant.
FATHER you can me son, when I am unworthy. You give me that I do not deserve. That is grace.
I am unworthy, HE throws HIS arms around me, calls me a son.
HE calls you son and daughter. How can I not thank HIM?
HIS mercies are new everyday.
Lamentations 3:22-23 NIV
