GREAT IS GOD'S MERCY!

GREAT IS YOUR MERCY
AS SUNG BY DONNIE MCCLURKIN

Great is your mercy towards me
Your lovingkindness towards me
Your tender mercy I see
Day after day

Forever faithful towards me
Always providing for me
Great is your mercy towards me
Great is your grace

Thank you GOD for your mercy!

I had got caught up in the chaos and busyness of my life. My world. Then I had started to take my focus off of GOD. I realized that I had started focusing on what was going on around me. My circumstances. My problems. My issues. It seemed like everything that could go wrong--was. I was having problems on the job, with my bills, in the home and recently, trying to find another place to stay (moving).

I had got so distracted that I was not praying, fasting nor reading my bible as much. It had gotten so bad, that believe it or not, I had stopped talking to my FATHER (GOD).

This reality hit me so hard. How had I drifted away? I had neglected my relationship with HIM. I had lost connection with my best friend. So, here I was drowning in my troubles. I needed HIM now more than ever.

With tears clouding my sight and moaning erupting out of my lips, I drop to my knees and repent. I ask GOD for forgiveness for neglecting my relationship with HIM and not keeping HIM first. I ask HIM for forgiveness for not trusting HIM and not casting my burdens over to HIM. I ask for HIM to create in me a clean heart and right spirit. I ask HIM to renew my mind. I ask HIM for HIS mercy.

I remember HIS mercy is GREAT! Especially towards those that are merciful.
Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Matthew 5:7

HIS mercy is neverending. O give thanks unto the Lord; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever. 1 Chronicles 16:34

HE tells us to be merciful like HIM. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful. Luke 6:36

Mercy is good for the soul. The merciful man doeth good to his own soul...Proverbs 11:17.

As I got up off my knees, Praise flowed from my lips. Blessings to GOD for HIS mercy that HE shows me everyday. Thank you GOD for your lovingkindness towards me. Great is HIS mercy for ME!!!!

If I keep HIM first in my life and walk in righteousness, ...Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23:6
