For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.--Psalm 86:5
I stand in awe of Your goodness toward me in Christ Jesus. Me...who was dead in trespasses and sin and still your enemy! Me...a stubborn, vile sinner bent on her own way. You, Lord, heard my cry and saved me! You brought me up out of the miry clay and redeemed me....You have set my feet on a rock. Safely ensconced in your arms, I sit in the heavenly places with You!
You are rich to all who call upon Your name! How excellent is your lovingkindness toward us, O God, therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings. You, Lord, are good to all and Your tender mercies are over all Your works. Your goodness endures continually...mercy and redemption are with You. You are nigh unto all who call on You and fulfill the desires of those that fear You. You hear their cry and save them You preserve those who love You.
Praying that I, who have been forgiven much, will have Your heart of love towards those You have placed in my life....Your thoughts of mercy grace and forgiveness ...let them be my thoughts....let them be my ways. I confess to You that these are not my thoughts...nor my ways. Truly, Father, as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways and thoughts so much higher than mine. You are God! There is none like You. You pardon sin and pass over transgression. You do not retain your anger forever because YOU DELIGHT IN MERCY!!! You turned to me and had compassion on me. You subdued my iniquities and cast my sins into the depths of the sea! If you Lord, should mark iniquities, O God, who could stand! You remember me according to Your mercy for Your goodness sake. There is forgiveness with You.
Luke 15:17, 20-24...
“But when he came to himself, ....“And he arose and came to his father. But when he was still a great way off, his father saw him and had compassion, and ran and fell on his neck and kissed him. And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
“But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand and sandals on his feet. And bring the fatted calf here and kill it, and let us eat and be merry;for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ And they began to be merry.
