MERCY

Posted on by Stan Hillard

The God I serve is not an angry, unforgiving, impatient God. He moves in small ways that we cannot perceive to affect the changes that, should we become aware of them, would bring us into perfect harmony with Him. As I consider the beauty He has made, I am constantly reminded that those small merciful changes he has offered us are ours to grasp, to hold on to so we will become aware and give Him the Glory for what He has done. His hand is everywhere. Should we look closely enough, we would be awestruck by the Majesty of His Mercy. Most importantly of all is how slow He has been to judge us. Second, third, innumerable are the chances He has given us to come into his presence and ask forgiveness for the horrors we have perpetrated on this planet and on ourselves. His Mercy is free. Pause. Take time to let Him in.

Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 34:8

I am a man who loves the Lord, my wife and art in that order. I find that there is not enough of me to get done all of the things I find important. I am learning to ease into things instead of jumping before I consider what the outcome will be. I try to see the glass and not to worry about how full or empty it is. Loss in life has lead me to be thankful for what I have and not to be a whiner. God has provided more than is equitable considering how often I fail Him. I find that loving is more valuable than being loved. Art is and has always been the thread in my life that ties everything else together. I long for the day...
