If I had to pick one
of God's characteristics that I most love and desire, I would pick his
Mercy. I so much deserve the fires of
hell. More than almost anyone knows how
much I need that. God has poured his
grace over me once his mercy cleansed me.
The disciples were puzzled about
Jesus acceptance of a "loose" woman. A woman that has committed the
unspeakable. The Pharisees nearby
question Jesus also. His response?
"One man owed someone $3 and another man owed $1,000,000...both were forgiven. Who loves him the most?"
That's me: the $1,000,000 lady.
And Jesus said
elsewhere, when questioned about his choice of people to hang around with: Jesus replied
"I came for the sick ...Like a doctor receives the accolades of those he had snatched from the jaws of death...This sickest were
the ones with the greatest debt of gratitude.
God's mercy extends as
far as the East is from the West. He has
bathed me in Mercy, rinsed me with his grace and the toweled me off with his
Love... And soon. Very soon, I will be dressed in his righteous white gown.
