This morning’s joy comes directly from the Son!
The new mercies and graces are high fiving me once again!
What should I do?
Should I sing of it’s glory?
Should I sing it’s praises until no end?
Am I grateful that He didn’t kill me in my sin?
Yes, yes truly grateful I am!
Once again, He wins! He wins me over with his grace and mercy. Once again, His love’s radiance reigns over my shame. My shame that He doesn’t even recognize once I call on His name! My shame that haunts me in those endless nights where tears shed. Why oh why, must I feel the shame of this? This is not my doing nor is this of my own will. Possibly, the will of someone else? The one that keeps me occupied with mindless fantasies. The fantasy that my life could be anything other than what He wants for me?
But, in the morning, grace and mercy bursts through the door and saves my life once more! They know how to woe an ole girl like me. They know I’m not fancy. I don’t drink my tea with my stinky pinky up. I heard that was rude anyway. They know that I am little shy sometimes, so they don’t call me out on the carpet. This tag team allows me to slip by without being noticed. They provide substance for my covering when I want to hide. But when it’s time to come out the cave, they greet me at the edge cheering loudly for me!
It is Grace and Mercy that keeps me from losing my mind completely! The same wonderful duo that keeps me is the same that covers you too! So, put your hands up every morning and give them a slap of thankfulness!
Grace and Mercy wins us over time after time.
