The Tender Mercies Of His Grace

As I was in my room pondering on some hard things that had been going on earlier today, I felt broken. For the longest time, I had been treated rudely and with disrespect verbally. I was really struggling with it, especially today. But each time it happened, I realized that I would forget the happening and continue loving that person.

It hit me especially hard today as I struggled with something that I needed support with. It was something that I was really conflicted about, and I didn't know how to handle the situation. Instead of giving me support in my confusion, the person spoke rudely and made it seem like my concerns for our spiritual welfare weren't important. 

So I locked myself into my room and prayed. I asked my Father how He was able to forgive so easily and continue loving. I was so hurt, and He forgives all damage done, no matter how serious the problem. I wanted to feel the love that He feels for everyone, to see things the way He sees them.

At that moment, He filled my soul with His love. He gave me the reason to see beyond weakness and He opened my eyes to the joy that He sees. He blessed me with incredible joy and love. His love for me, and for others, filled me, and at that moment, I knew that He would help me conquer my fears and my troubles. He wanted me to forgive. So I prayed for charity and forgiveness, and He blessed me with so much more than that!

These precious words are the results of that tender moment. As I wrote them, I was overwhelmed with His love. I was filled with the joy from heaven. When the pen connected with the paper, the words just flowed--like a song. The words became music, a song from the soul, a heavenly song from the heart. 

Tears falling down my face, I kneel down and I pray. Praying for God's tender mercy. Broken down, lost and forgotten, spat upon, abused. I beg for His forgiveness, I plead for His love.

The the light of His kindness, His tender Father's hand brings me into His warm embrace, wraps me in His love. The love that He feels for me is so real, and He shows me His tender mercy. 

Laughter and joy, a bright child's face, singing and dancing, winning the race. His sunshine warmed my soul, His grace redeemed my love. He rescued me, strengthened me, filled me with His light! He loves me, and knows me, knows me for who I am: a daughter of His, beloved. 

These are the gifts for His child--a Son of God, Redeemer, sent for us to die. To live again, and be again--our Saviour, our Christ.

They love me for who I am. They care for me and lead me through Their plan. The road is rough, but be not afraid. Stand tall, be true, and be His. A daughter of a living God, honest, faithful, true. Benevolent and virtuous!

Now He knows the way, and He shows the way, and His is the way--the way to truth and light! Be these things, trust in Him, and you will be filled with His light. Charity is all that you need. Just trust in Him, believe in Him, and the tender mercies of His grace will fall upon you and fill your soul.

He loves you, you are His, and He is yours.

Have a beautiful day, filled with the warmth of God's sunshine and love.

Ever smiling,
