Infinite Mercy

A god of infinite mercy and compassion

Recently, at an outing our church was having, the weather was perfect, and there were outdoor games for all ages going on in the church yard. There was of course a game of “touch football” being played by mostly the teenagers. Along the invisible sidelines of the game, moms and dads, and grandparents watched and cheered for their players.

Once when the football squirted out of the hands a runner, it rolled and flipped toward the sidelines where a small boy of about two years came from out of nowhere and scooped up the ball. He was ready to be in the game and took off with the ball only to take a few steps then fall taking a roll himself. Everyone stopped and held their breath as the enthusiastic little player slowly got up crying and looking for his mommy! Mommy was immediately right there for him picking him up and dusting the dirt and grass off him. She smiled and wiped his tears and comforted him after she determined he was alright. Her compassion and love was right there when the little guy needed it.

God is like this. He understands what we go through and sympathizes with our weaknesses and our concerns. When we fall He gasps and holds His breath. He is moved. When we are troubled, He is sensitive to what we are going through. He is never too far away and is always ready to pick us up and dust us off. He loves us and cares so much for us He came to earth just so we can see how much He cares. He comforts us when we need Him. He understands and sympathizes with us when we feel pain and hurt. We can always take our troubles to Him and allow His gentleness, His infinite mercy and compassion to comfort us and bring us peace.

“Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet my unfailing love for you will not be shaken nor my covenant of peace be removed” says the Lord, who has compassion on you (Isaiah 54:10).

Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for His compassions never fail (Lamentations 3:22).

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
