| Mercy Sees You! |
I think this is my favoirte song of all time. I just love these lyrics. I can't listen to this song without crying every single time. Interestingly, every spiritual gift test I have ever taken has shown that my spiritual gift is mercy; however, I don't consider myself a very merciful person. In and of myself I have no mercy. I'll be the first one to judge. I know my family would never say my gift is mercy. I definitely didn't show much of that to my sister this last year. But I know it's mercy. I have experienced "merciful eyes." God's given me this epseically with one person in my life. My dearest friend. I can look at him with total eyes of mercy. And perhaps my gift can't be used with everyone at all times, I mean I am not God. But He has given me the ability to show some people mercy at certain times, epscially this friend. And a lot of times when I hear about someone I don't know, I feel a lot of mercy. I have totally been broken and touched by this whole situation with Ted Haggard. I was reading the letters he and his wife wrote to their church. Today, this is his song. This is my friend's song. This is everyone's song, you and me. Perhaps you are reading this today and you are in desperate need of mercy. It's available today. Maybe not from me, but definitely from the One who loves you more than anyone else ever could. He loves you right now. Don't worry about those stains. Don't fix yourself up before coming to Him. He says come just as you are. Of course, He loves yoo too much to leave you there, and He will work with you everyday. Your spiritual growth is a journey, not a destination. Come and experience sanctified recovery as He wraps His arms around you, wipes your tears and just keeps you near. This is how mercy, how your loving Father sees you today because His Son died for you:
Mercy Saw Me
By: Geron & Becky Davis
The years had left scars. The scars had left pain. How could He recognize me? I wasn't the same. I knew I should pay, and I knew the price. For justice and law demanded my life. But His tender heart heard my desperate cry, and He saw my past through merciful eyes.
Beautiful, that's how mercy saw me. Though I was broken and so lost mercy looked past all my faults. The justice of God saw what I had done. But mercy saw me through the Son. Not what I was, but what I could be, that's how mercy saw me.
Whatever you've done, you can't go too far that His eyes of mercy can't see where you are. He loves you too much to leave you alone. You're flesh of His flesh and bone of His bone. And His heart cries out for your heart today. See yourself through His eyes and then you can say. Sin had stolen my dignity and all my self-esteem, but I was made brand new again when mercy looked at me.
Beautiful, that's how mercy saw me. Though I was broken and so lost mercy looked past all my faults. The justice of God saw what I had done. But mercy saw me through the Son. Not what I was, but what I could be, that's how mercy saw me.
God loved and esteemed you so much that He gave His one and only Son up for you, that if you would just believe on His Son, you will not be lost, you will be found, you will have a whole life (Don't you want to be whole?) and an eternal life (You will be with Him one day, in heaven and you will be safe, yes safe and secure in Him)...this eternal life through His Son, Jesus. (John 3:16 author's expression) |

| 51 days til Christmas :) |
I absolutely love this time of year! Tonight we're getting the first freeze of the season! No snow, but at least there's a sign of winter being on it's way. I absolutely love fall and winter. Winter is my favorite and I am crazy about snow! I've already started to play Christmas music :) I can't get enough of this time of year! I hope I'll be able to enjoy it with work, school, and just so much busyness. I want my Christmas moments!
Happy Autumn! Aren't the leaves beautiful? |
