OUR MERCIFUL GOD!
(Are we MERCIFUL TOO?)
There is=NO MEASURE=as to what kind
Of human being we are=than whether we are
A MERCIFUL PERSON=do we FORGIVE 70X7?=Like
Our Heavenly Father?=like our Jesus?
The TRUE MEASURE=of our CHARACTER
Is our mercy=
OUR MERCIFUL GOD!=are we=
ARE WE MERCIFUL TOO?
“We are shamefaced=even
To this day”

“Then Peter came=to Jesus and asked’=
‘Lord=HOW MANY TIMES=shall I forgive
My brother or sister=who sins against me?
Up to seven times?’
Jesus answered=’I tell you=NOT seven times=
But SEVENTY-SEVEN TIMES’”
Matthew 18:21
As a CATHOLIC=I have gone to CONFESSION
Many times=to a priest=I also CLEANSE my soul daily
To God and Jesus daily=ASKING FOR FORGIVENESS
We need to have CLEAN SOULS=it is all about
FORGIVENESS=and being merciful
OUR MERCIFUL GOD!=are we merciful too?
“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”

“But in=YOUR GREAT MERCY=you
Did not put an and=to them=or abandon them=
For you are a gracious=and a MERCIFUL GOD”

“BLESSED ARE THE MERCIFUL=for
They will be SHOWN MERCY”
Matthew 5:7
WHEN we confess our sins=to the Holy
Father God=and Jesus=no matter what our sins are
It reminds us=of HOW BROKEN=that we are
And how FORTUNATE we are=to have
SUCH A MERCIFUL GOD=Our forgiving God
Who ENDURED the cross for us=Are we
MERCIFUL and forgiving too?
“BE MERCIFUL=just as=Your Father
IS MERCIFUL”
Luke 6:36
“For this reason=he had to be made like them=
Fully human=in every way=in order that=he
Might become=A MERCIFUL and faithful high priest=
In service to God=and that he might make atonement
For the sins of the people” Hebrews
2:17
“BE MERCIFUL=to those who doubt=save others
By snatching them=from the fire=TO SHOW MERCY
Mixed with fear=hating even the clothing=Stained
By corrupted flesh”
Jude :22
Our God is a MERCIFUL GOD=Luke’s message today
REMINDS US of that=we need to=POUR OUT
That same MERCY=to others=in our life too=for
FAMILY=FRIENDS=and even strangers=for LIVING
WITH MERCY and forgiveness=is
THE TRUE MEASURE=of our character
God EXTENDS mercy to us=he FORGIVES US
Our sins=let us BE MERCIFUL TO OTHERS TOO!
In Jesus’ name=and in the name=and in the name=of OUR EVER
MERCIFUL
AND FORGIVING Holy Father God!
