God bless you all, and welcome to another blog.

This blog is entitled “Mercy.” I had to think really hard to come up with both a title and a topic for this month’s blog. This is more than just a blog to me. I don’t want to write about what I feel I should write about; rather, I want to write what God leads me to write, because He knows what is needed in our lives and what we all need to hear.

So today, I present to you the unconditional mercy of Jesus.

It all started in the Garden of Eden, when humanity decided to turn their backs on God. Yet, He did not give up on mankind. He, being God—full of grace and mercy—continued to reason and speak with Adam and Eve, just as He does with us today.

If you haven’t realized it yet, He approached you at your lowest point—the point where you were living a sinful life, completely according to your own desires and against His will and standards. That is real mercy, a kind of mercy that man will never perfect. Man will let you down—sometimes unintentionally and sometimes intentionally. It’s unfortunate, but it’s very true.

Scripture says in Isaiah 30:18:
“Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore He exalts Himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for Him.”

This world does not know mercy the way God does. He overlooks our faults while man magnifies them. The Lord throws our sins into the depths of the ocean, while some people try to fish them back out. Again, that’s unfortunate—but very true.

Even in His final moments, Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” That is a level of mercy we will never truly comprehend.

Sometimes we feel as if we’ve done too much, as if we’ve reached a limit where God will never forgive us. I want to tell you plainly: that is a lie of the devil. God’s mercy is always within your reach—it’s up to you to accept it.

The Bible speaks of God as the potter and us as the clay. Read Jeremiah 18 and see how, no matter how the clay tries to form itself, or even if it falls out of the potter’s hands, the potter picks up those broken pieces and continues to mold them into what he sees as best. He does not throw the clay away. He does not give up on it.

That’s how God sees us. He always sees what we can become. He sees what no other person can see.

Remember, the mercy of God is sufficient for you and for me. Man may give up on you. Your mother or father may give up on you. Your wife, your husband, or other loved ones may give up on you—but God will NEVER give up on you, and God will NEVER walk away from you.

God bless you all, and thank you for reading this blog.
To God be all the glory!
