Mercy

He said"Father forgive them
For they know not what they do"
And now I know how much
His love for me is true
For the One who knew no sin
As tears of sorrow the angels cried
Bore all my sin at Calvary
As He hung His head and died

To give His life for us
We gave Him no choice
"Crucify Him!"
Our sins cried out with one voice
But the Father, full of mercy
Reached out our souls to spare
The sacrifice of Love was made
His mercy with us to share.

Blessings

I am back from a little vacation in posts on here. I don't know what happened but now I am back. I have been thinking a lot lately about how God blesses us and forgives us when we really don't deserve it. He loves each of us unconditionally and expects the same from us. In Psalm 103 it says " Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me bless His holy name! Bless the Lord, O my soul and forget not all His benefits: Who forgives all you iniquities, Who heals all your diseases, Who redeems your life from destruction, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies."Psalm 103: 1-4. I know that I do not deserve what God has so freely given me just by believing. I know everyday that Jesus died on the cross to pay for my sin. If God's love and mercy is so easily given to us, why can't we do the same for each other? Love is unconditional. Love doesn't seek to hurt people. Love doesn't judge. Love is God living in us.
Until next time,

Great strides

I think most of you know by now that my daughter Rebekah has cystic fibrosis. She is active in raising money for Great Strides, a walk held each year. She is trying to have 10000 visitors on her blog. Click on the link below to read about her and what she is trying to do. Be one of her visitors. Visit often. She is a great writer (not just because I am her mother) and has an inspiring story to tell. The link is http://www.bekahboosc.com/
