Great Is God’s Mercy and Love for us :)

“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.  For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”-Psalm 103:8-14 KJV

God loves us so much that His Mercy is almost endless. And for those who “fear” Him and follow Jesus, it is endless.

But what does the word “fear” refer to? I don’t think it refers to the type of “fear” that we feel when, for example, a car accident is about to happen. Or the “fear” we feel when we think about a loved one getting Covid 19.

I think it’s the type of “fear” we feel when we do something we know will displease our parents or those who love us greatly. It’s the kind of “fear” that we feel when we truly think about the Power of God. While we don’t always focus on the Power of God, it’s important to think about the Great Power it took to create this world and to create us 🙂

Make no mistake, it is God’s Great Mercy and Love that has ensured our forgiveness and eternity in Heaven. And that forgiveness comes through faith in His Son Jesus Christ.

Today, thank our Father for His Great Mercy and Love for us 🙂
