His Love and Mercy

“It wasn't so long ago that you were mired
in that old stagnant life of sin.
You let the world,
which doesn't know the first thing about living,
tell you how to live.
You filled your lungs with polluted unbelief,
and then exhaled disobedience.
We all did it,
all of us doing what we felt like doing,
when we felt like doing it . . .
It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper
and do away with the whole lot of us.
Instead, immense in mercy
and with an incredible love,
He embraced us.
He took our sin-dead lives
and made us alive in Christ.
He did all this on his own,
with no help from us!
Then he picked us up
and set us down in highest heaven
in company with Jesus, our Messiah.”
Ephesians 2:1-6 Message Bible


Praise God for his love and mercy toward me!
