Faith WOD - 4/2/2012

Describe mercy.  How do you define it?  How do you know it when you see it?

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love."  (Mother Teresa)

"Show me your ways, O LORD, teach me your paths;  5 guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.  6 Remember, O LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.  7 Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;  according to your love remember me,  for you are good, O LORD." (Psalm 25:4-7)

  2. Same as Keven put it, I deserve death due to my life. But God's mercy has given me life everlasting, he has defeated death. This week we celebrate that mercy through Jesus, our mercy giver.

  7. This is the perfect quote for this week, as Christ did just that, He gave until it couldn't hurt anymore, and yet His love for us continued to grow.
