God's abundant mercy given NEW every morning.

The word "mercy" not only means to withhold punishment. It also means to show us compassion. And from the words of Martha Stewart that's a good thing.

Psalm 103. "Bless the LORD, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits." Verse 3: "Who forgives all your iniquities." That's God's mercy.

God's mercy withholds from me the penalty that I deserve for my own sin. But on the other hand, God sees me as a person who needs His compassion. "As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him."

He contrasts here mercy with pity. And I think a better word there is compassion.

God doesn't save us because He pities us. God saves us because He loves us

Mercy in the Morning will hopefully reflect God's abundant mercy given NEW every morning.

"Morning by morning, new mercies I see"

 Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;

There is no shadow of turning with Thee;

Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.

Great is Thy faithfulness!
