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
