"He saved us, not because of the good things we did, but because of his mercy." (Titus 3:5)
Praise God for His mercy! The Greek Lexicon defines mercy as, "kindness or good will towards the miserable and the afflicted, joined with a desire to help them".
God sees us in our misery and affliction and wants to help us. That's
Good News! Even better than God wanting to help, is the fact that God
is able to help. That's Great News!
Now today, as mercy recipients, let's show that very same mercy. Look
for the miserable and the afflicted and help them. I'm sure we will all
encounter at least one person today who needs a miracle. Be the
miracle!
