Held by Mercy

When we consider the rising and setting of the sun, there is something even more predictable than this! We are met with mercy each time we come to our God. It doesn’t matter if we fail one time or a thousand, his response is always the same.

Do you struggle to believe that God can forgive you when you repeatedly fail the expectations you set for yourself? It is impossible to exhaust God’s tender love. He cannot be convinced out of his affection for you. Whether you find yourself succeeding in life or struggling to get through the day, your Father’s kindness toward you is always the same. Let your heart dare to hope that He is as good as he says he is. He will hold you up when you feel like you are falling.

Father of mercy, I won’t keep myself from approaching you today. I have to hope that your goodness will not fail me. Even as I tremble at the thought of my own weakness, I ask that you would meet me with the power of your presence. Refine me and make me more like you. I won’t stop coming back to you.
