Isaiah 7:11 “Ask a sign for yourself from the Lord your God; ask it either in the depth or in the height above.”

How deep would you say your faith is? Do you think it will stand up to questioning? Do you think it will stand up to physical tests?

Our faith should not be measured against physical limits or tested against what man can do; instead we must simply trust in our faith!

It is not up to us to test other people’s faith or test God’s faithfulness. Instead we must demonstrate our faith so others can be empowered and encouraged by it.

Romans 9:15 For He says to Moses, “I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion.”

God is not under any rules or regulations as to whom He should love or show His mercy to.

He has the choice to do what He wants. He is God!

If we were to show love and respect towards only the people we wanted to our circle of friends would probably shrink quite quickly!

God wants us to get out there and love the people He has given to us in our lives; to respect them and show them mercy and support. Just do it!

Ephesians 2:4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us

The one thing I find hard to explain to people is just how merciful God really is. People get caught up in self-pity or self-guilt and they cannot see how God can every forgive them because they think they are the only ones who know what they have done!

God knows exactly what we have done and still He carried on forward to the cross!

It takes a person who has gone through a whole lot of evil and been forgiven to explain just how awesome God is.

Love God. Love mercy.

Titus 3:5 not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit

No matter how much you think you can do you cannot do enough to get yourself to heaven!

God knew that from the beginning and so He prepared a way in which we can get o heaven; through and with Him.

Though we cannot hope to get near to God because of our wicked and sinful ways, He supplied an advocate who gave His life so we would be made absolutely not guilty.

I love my God and I know He loves me!
