Graciousness Beyond Belief

  The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. The LORD is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made. All you have made will praise you, O LORD; your saints will extol you. They will tell of the glory of your kingdom and speak of your might, so that all men may know of your mighty acts and the glorious splendor of your kingdom (Psalm 145:8-12 NIV).

Yesterday God showed me the unimaginable power I have in obtaining his love and how enormous his love is for me.  His compassion for me also touched me as I look at the things in my life that I did that were sinful  and how I can come before him and asked for forgiveness and he will touch my soul.

The Lord is gracious. 

His compassion draws me to Him. 
His compassion touches my heart.
His compassion proves I am loved. 
His compassion reaches to the depths of my heart. 
His compassion compels me to love Him and follow Him.

The Lord is gracious. He is slow to anger. How quickly He could condemn me! He would be justified if He chose to reject me and turn away from me. I would deserve it if He unleashed His anger upon me. I could not defend myself if he were to decide to put me on trial. His patience is unfathomable.

I deserve His anger. 
I deserve His wrath. 
I deserve His judgment. 

I am saved because He is gracious and slow to anger.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love. Let me, His creation, praise Him, fall down before Him, tell of the glory of His kingdom, and speak of His might, so that all people around me may know of His mighty acts and the glorious splendor of his kingdom.

Lord, thank you for your compassion and love as you continue to work in me.
