NEVER REACHING THE END!

 

NEVER REACHING THE END!

 

FORGIVENESS is a difficult thing=

And it is COMPLICATED=but today

Jesus tells us=

We MUST FORGIVE 77 times

 

And our God does=

Fortunately for us=we

NEVER reach the end of

God’s FORGIVENESS AND MERCY

Our God is a=

Forgiving God=and a merciful God

 

“Lord=if my brother

Sins against me=HOW OFTEN

Must I forgive him?=as many as seven times?’

 

Jesus answered=

‘I say to you=

NOT seven times=but SEVENTY-SEVEN TIMES’”                                                                     Matthew 18:21-22

 

We all NEED a

Lot of forgiveness=in this world

ESPECIALLY RIGHT NOW!

 

It seems=we ALL

Are going through something

Right now

 

IF not physical issues=

Some other type of TRAUMA

Or a PROFOUND EMOTONAL HURT

 

Fortunately for us=

OUR GOD=is a forgiving God

A MERCIFUL GOD

We NEVER=REACH THE END!

Of God’s mercy

 

“Remember Lord=YOUR GREAT MERCY

And love=for they

Are from of old”                                                                                                                      Psalm 25:6

 

“In his love and MERCY=

He redeemed them=

 

He lifted them up

And carried them=

All the days of old”                                                                                                                Isaiah 63:9

 

“And what does

The Lord=require of you?

 

To act justly=AND TO LOVE MERCY

And to walk humbly

With our God”                                                                                                                              Micah 6:8

 

God’s mercy and love=

NEVER REACHING THE END!

For us=It is too bad

We humans

 

Can’t be=a little more

Kinder=forgiving=and MERCIFUL

To each other

NEVER REACHING THE END!

 

God’s forgiveness for us

IS UNCONDITIONAL=

Saint Catherine of Siena

Tells us his mercy=is like

AN ABYSS

 

And that we will

NEVER REACH THE END

Of GOD’S INFINITE MERCY

 

“Blessed are the MERCIFUL=

For they=will be SHOWN MERCY”                                                                                             Matthew 5:7

 

ALL we can do=

Is TURN OUR HEARTS

OVER=to our Father and Jesus

 

And pray for a forgiving

And merciful heart=

NEVER REACING THE END!

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our FOREVER FORGIVING=and MERCIFUL

Holy Father God!
