Mercy

What does God say about His mercy over your life?

Mercy is God holding back what you deserve and giving you what you don't. It is His compassion in action — fresh every morning, never exhausted, always available. Where grace gives you what you haven't earned, mercy spares you from what you have. Together they form the foundation of your relationship with God.
