O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. - Psalm 107:1

The definition of mercy is as stated ( compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is within one's power to punish or harm.) This old testament scripture speaks as a reminder that we should give thanks to God for many things in our lives but more specifically for the fact that he has compassion on us and has forgiven us of our sins if we repent and trust in his salvation plan. Hell is a real place and many will choose to go there of their own free will because they rejected Gods plan of redemption thru Jesus Christ. We who have received such a great salvation should give thanks to God that by his mercy we have been given eternal life in heaven. None of us deserve this gift but because God loves us so very much we have been given the opportunity to trade our spiritual death sentence for a new life here on earth. I pray this message finds you secure in your walk with God . If not I ask you to simply ask God to show you for yourself that he is real and to ask him for forgiveness of your sins and trust in the message of Jesus Christ that brings joy and peace this world can never offer or match. Then you to will have much to give thanks for this new found life and having a love that will never leave or forsake you ever again. Amen !
