Tender Mercy

No one likes a chewy piece of meat!  The memory of a tough steak lasts lots longer than its price!

God's mercy is tender!  Tenderness is an amazing attribute.  Have you ever watched a big burly guy hold his infant child?  He does so with incredible tenderness -- power and strength constrained with immense love. God's power is infinite yet so is His mercy; it’s The loving touch we need. Psalm 147:3 tells us our all-powerful Father "heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." What a beautiful description of care and compassion. Spurgeon writes, "He is as gracious in the manner of His mercy as He is in the matter of it."  Our God is gracious and merciful as we should also be unto others.  Will we trust God of all-mercy with our brokenness and wounds?  God’s mercy is tender!

Dear Lord,

I praise You for Your tender loving-kindness towards me.  In Jesus' Name, Amen.
