Isaiah 63:9 In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
What an incomprehensible journey. As mercy pours from His throne on us, day after day without limit from a merciful and forgiving God. Once we open our hearts and truly understand, how can we withhold mercy and forgiveness from anyone who asks of us?
The scripture in Matthew when Jesus said to Peter, 'what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and what you loosed on earth will be loosed in heaven', and pertaining to sin, people, demonic influences, the Word of God goes forth to forgive us, heal the brokenhearted and set free those in captivity. This is the timeless Word of God, the Bread of Life which feeds thousands and thousands. We bind His Word in our hearts and loosed His Word to feed the nations.
Millions pass us by somewhere, everywhere, millions seeking or crying for mercy for past hurts, past crimes or past sin. As we are transformed into becoming more like Christ, it is our choice to show compassion and mercy as He showed us compassion and mercy.
When we cry out for mercy, He IS there every time, He hears us and covers us with His great wings, there is healing in His wings, and we can rest in them and find peace.
The harvest IS ready, as laborers in the field, we go into His glorious crops, reaching with compassion and forgiveness and mercy. Nothing less.
Mercy; compassionate treatment, especially of those under one's power; clemency; a disposition to be kind and forgiving: a heart full of mercy, something for which to be thankful; a blessing
