"The Lord your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him"
2 Chron. 30:9
Mercy
It is easy at times to look at life in a wordly way getting caught up in depression circumstances, pain or the glitter of the world. We forget the words spoken turn from the light of the Lord and become engrossed in self. I assume we think we can go it alone or think it will be ok or maybe we just dont realize we are doing it. I myself didn't really realize the slow progression as each day I would drift a little further away. I caught myself thinking I believe I am a Christian but my actions reflected differently. One day I realized my words were not those of my heart. In that moment I knew a deep sadness in where I was. My heart cried out to the Lord for mercy for taking my eyes from the light and wanted to again feel the peace of Jesus. The Lord's tender mercy was extended to me that day, and I returned to the place I was to be. Each day I thank the Lord for showing His mercy to one who's path had gone astray.
