Simple Thoughts On Promises- 73

Mercy, peace and love be yours in abundance. (Jude 1:2)

The Apostle Paul writes, "But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his unlimited patience as an example for those who would believe on him and receive eternal life. (1 Timothy 1:16)

Did you notice the phrase "unlimited patience" in the above verse? How wonderful. It's true that because the Lord has unlimited patience, we are not consumed. He waits patiently for us to acknowledge him and obey him. Some of us have been so rebellious in our attitude towards him, but he has been patient.
The prophet Jeremiah writes in lamentations,
Because of the LORD's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. (Lamentations 3:22,23)
Let us be thankful to Jesus this day for being merciful to us and let his mercy, peace and love be ours in abundance at all times. God bless.
