If you look at people's resumes then
this world is full of perfect people, but unfortunately that is not
true, that is all lies because people write on their resumes what
they want others to see about them. They just want to convince the
employer that they are the perfect person for the job.
Last night I lay awake and I was
thinking of me, my track record and I am the least suitable person to
be doing what I am doing, but JESUS HAD MERCY ON ME. He called me in
spite of what I was and everything that I have done. He employed me,
He called me, He accepted me to be a child of God. God accepted me as
a child into His household. He gave me mercy, forgiveness, He forgave
my past sins and He brought me into His house. He gave me mercy so
that I can be a child of God and I can live in obedience to Him but
there are many children of God who don't have mercy on other people,
they don't have mercy on other children of God.
Yesterday I read an article about a
thief, a person who stole somebody's wallet but he had a change of
heart and he returned the wallet with a letter of apology, but now
they are charging him! He did not find forgiveness, he is standing
trial for his misdemeanor. There is no mercy, only judgment. How much
mercy do those people expect to receive?
If we do not have mercy for others, how
can we expect God to have mercy on us? I just thank God and I thank
Jesus that He accepted me into His household to be a child of God. I
am the least deserving, I deserve death, I deserve hell, but He
accepted me. He gave me mercy. That is why I want to live the rest of
my life to serve Him as a child of God, as an obedient child, to live
in holiness and obedience to Him.
Have you received mercy? Do you have
mercy to give? Dear friend, it doesn't matter what you have done, it
doesn't matter where you come from, God loves you and He wants to
give you mercy. He wants to make you a child of God. He wants to
forgive your past sins, but you have to repent, and you have to obey
Jesus. Turn away from sin, be baptized in water, follow Jesus, become
a child of God. Seek Him with all your heart, right now, and He will
extend you MERCY.
May Jesus bless you.
