MERCY BEYOND MEASURE!














MERCY BEYOND MEASURE!


We love a MERCIFUL GOD!=
A God whose mercy is
BEYOND MEASURE


And our Psalmist today
Tells us just that
“NOT according to our sins-
Does he=deal with us


Nor does he requite us
ACCORDING to our crimes” Psalm 103:10


We were CREATED
In GOD'S image and likeness-
So we all have
The CAPACITY
To LIVE with GOD'S MERCY


It is a SHAME
More of us
Don't live that way-
DEALING with others
With the MERCY OF GOD


“Remember Lord
YOUR great mercy and love
For they are
From of old” Psalm 25:6


“This is what
The Lord Almighty said=
'Administer true justice
Show MERCY and compassion
To one another'” Zechariah 7:9


“........If it is to encourage
Then give encouragement


If it is to lead
Do it diligently


If it is
To show MERCY
Do it CHEERFULLY” Romans 12:8


Our God from HEAVEN= our Jesus
PARDONS all our sins


He does not show anger-
And forgives our nasty and
Mean transgressions


And WITHIN
Each one of us=
LIVES the mercy of
Our creator-
Lives the MERCY of Jesus


Jesus' life was a
LIVING EXAMPLE
Of showing MERCY
BEYOND MEASURE


And within each
ONE of us lives
The CAPACITY to show mercy
JUST LIKE JESUS


“Even though
I was once
A blasphemer
And a persecutor and
A violent man


I was shown MERCY
Because I acted
In ignorance and unbelief” 1 Timothy 1:13


“He saved us
NOT because
Of righteous things
We had done


But because of his MERCY
He saved us through
The washing
Of rebirth and renewal
By the HOLY SPIRIT” Titus 3:5


It is
NOT NORMAL to show
The MERCY that God
Shows us


It is not normal
To give up your WHOLE LIFE
In MERCY=for others
The way that Jesus did


MERCY BEYOND MEASURE!


And it is up to us
To LIVE WITH MERCY
BEYOND MEASURE too


If we expect to BUILD
The kingdom of God
In this world


Let us all live
With MERCY BEYOND MEASURE!


In Jesus' name and in the name of our all LOVING=ALL MERCIFUL GOD
