GOD'S MERCY IN EVERY SITUATION

GOD'S MERCY= IN EVERY SITUATION Our God Is a MERCIFUL God To us In EVERY situation ALL we have To do IS to continue To TRY and do Our very best And work our way BACK to God (If we have lost sight of him in our lives) “FILL us at daybreak With your kindness That we may shout For JOY and gladness All our days” Psalm 90:14 All we have To do Is to look to The story of Saint Monica- The patron Saint and mother Of Christian families To KNOW that GOD'S MERCY abounds In every situation No matter How desperate your situation It couldn't be any worse Than Saint Monica's God's MERCY In every situation “David said to Gad 'I am in deep distress Let us fall Into the hands Of the Lord For his MERCY Is great But do NOT let me Fall into human hands” 2 Samuel 24:14 The FAITH of Saint Monica GIVES all parents CONFIDENCE in God That God Will never forsake Their children No matter how disappointed We are-in the choices The child has made For Augustine Had turned his back On his faith And became a womanizer And even fathered a child “BLESSED are the merciful For they will be shown MERCY” Matthew 5:7 Monica had already FORGIVEN Augustine-for his wayward life style Because she believed God LOVED Augustine UNCONDITIONALLY And he did Just as he CONTINUES TO LOVE ALL of us And our children Despite our wayward lifestyles “LOVE is patient-love is KIND- …..... It always PROTECTS-always trusts- Always HOPES-always perseveres- LOVE NEVER FAILS” 1 Corinthians 13:4-8 Just as Monica's love Was for Augustine Just as our love is For our children And just as GOD'S LOVE Is for us- HIS very own children “Yet to ALL Who did receive him To those who BELIEVED In his name He gave the RIGHT To become CHILDREN OF GOD........” John 1:12 Well eventually MONICA'S FAITH was rewarded As Augustine- TURNED backed to her And to God And he went on to Become the BEST KNOWN And most influential Christian Since Saint Paul All because of Monica's FAITH And great belief In the MERCY OF GOD GOD'S MERCY IN EVERY SITUATION Let us all CONTINUE to pray Because we all need God's MERCY at daybreak And at all times During every single day OF OUR LIVES Robert P.
