I've been thinking about God's mercy lately and how undeserving I am of His goodness. Yet He freely gives it... ABUNDANTLY.
Because of His Mercy I've received His free gift of salvation.
My so-called 'righteousness' couldn't have earned His mercy... in fact, I couldn't have done anything to merit it because I was just incapable of living to please Him. I'm grateful.
At one time we too were foolish, disobedient, deceived and enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures. We lived in malice and envy, being hated and hating one another. But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. ---Titus 3:4-7 (NIV)
