GOD’S MERCY=FOR US ALL!
I am a big BELIEVER
In MERCY=left to
Our own devices
None of us would SURVIVE
Today we read about
The great Saint Paul=
And the UNBELIEVABLE MERCY
He found in Christ Jesus
Paul=once a great CHRISTIAN HATER
Was TURNED by Jesus=
And became one of
The GREATEST APOSTLES=in building up
The early Church=
GOD’S MERCY FOR US ALL!
We all need a SECOND CHANCE=a
Third chance=and even
A fourth chance=to get it right
“I was once a blasphemer
And a persecutor=
And an arrogant man
But I have been MERCIFULLY treated=
Because I acted
Out of ignorance in my unbelief
The grace of our Lord
Was poured out on me--------abundantly
Along with the faith and love
That are in Christ Jesus”
1 Timothy 1:13-14
A little bit of MERCY
Goes a long way=
It CHANGED Paul’s life=
And changed the world
As we knew it
God’s mercy=give some
TO SOMEONE TODAY
Saint Paul understood
That the Lord calls us
For a HIGHER PURPOSE
Our purpose in this world
Is WRITTEN
On our HUMAN HEARTS=
And it is up to us
To find it=and LIVE IT
Saint Paul did it=THE HARD WAY
We are all brothers and sisters=
And in RELATIONSHIP=with one another
We are CHILDREN OF GOD=
Living with=A HIGHER PURPOSE
GOD’S MERCY for us all
Give some today
“For the Lord your God
Is a MERCIFUL GOD
He will not abandon
Or destroy you=
Or forget the covenant
With your ancestors
Which he confirmed to them
By oath”
Deuteronomy 4:31
“Blessed are the MERCIFUL
For they=will be SHOWN MERCY”
Matthew 5:7
Paul would eventually
Come to BELIEVE
That we are no longer
Greek or Jew=slave or free=
BUT ONE=in the BODY OF CHRIST
GOD’S MERCY FOR US ALL!
Paul’s dramatic CONVERSION=opened
His heart to=THE MERCY OF GOD
God did not choose Paul
For his purity=or his
Deep reverence for God=
He was FULLY RELYING
On the MERCY OF GOD=
And once received
He gave it=to others
That is something we
Should all GIVE AWAY=MERCY
“But because
Of his great love for us=
God who is rich IN MERCY
Made us alive in Christ
Even when we were dead
In transgressions……..”
Ephesians 2:4
GOD’S MERCY=FOR US ALL!
Live it=love it=receive it
GIVE MERCY AWAY!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name of=our EVER MERCIFUL God the
Holy Father!
