Dear Friends,
Looking at the garden, a sunset or into the eyes of a child I see God's creation painted in many colors.
My Bible has beautiful, intricate, nature and garden themed pictures to color. Adding color to images calms my heart and helps me focus on His Word.
I was meditating on and adding color to a picture of flowers surrounding the words of Lamentations 3:22,"The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease." This is a powerful verse that describes God's character.
I realized that His mercy has many colors. In a sunset you might see shades of white and gray in the clouds. Their edges often outlined in shades of yellow, orange, pink and red as the sun's light glimmers from behind them! All around us we can see His mercy displayed.
His love is faithful and steadfast. It continues on! He is always ready to embrace the fallen and lost.
Saul (Paul) was persecuting followers of Jesus when he heard the voice of God calling to him. He believed that he was obeying God's laws all while he was out of God's will. His transformation is a magnificent example of God's mercy.
Titus 3:5
"He saved us not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy."
Hebrews 4:16
"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will find mercy and we will find grace to help when we need it most."
