The
depth of God’s mercy is revealed most clearly in the moments when we have
utterly disqualified ourselves from it. Even when the mind cannot conceive it,
the heart cannot believe it and circumstances will not reveal it, He
unceasingly continues His Divine care. His mercy is never dimmed nor shaded by
the darkness of my ignorance. God is not good because we know it; He is good
because it is His very nature. Father of Mercy and Grace, unblock my blinded
vision of you. My sweet consolation in life is to know the riches of Your tender
mercy and offer it freely to others.
A serious pursuit of godliness requires an equally serious renunciation of worldliness. Too often, we measure spirituality with false scales. While being wisely selective with our public vices we are less so with our private attitudes and perspectives. In reality, it is the thoughts and intents of the heart where the greatest battles must be waged; our actions will ultimately align with the condition of our hearts. Lord God, You know me inside out, You are not fooled by human facades. Plow my heart with Your Word and Spirit and leave nothing unturned. Refresh my inward man that I may outwardly glorify You in all places at all times.
