I LOVE THE LORD

Micah 7:18, 19

Who is there like you, the God who removes guilt and pardons sin… And will again have compassion on us, treading underfoot our guilt?

Our God is a compassionate God who calls us to compassion. Compassion which leads to acts of justice - love which leads to the relief of suffering - is the inspiration from God's spirit which breaths life into us as we strive to bring our good God - our good help - to those in need, through who we are and what we do to alleviate spiritual and physical suffering.

Let me share with you another beautiful song. Be blessed! (you may go to www.bukaspalad.com).

I love the Lord, He is filled with compassion.
He turned to me on the day that I called.
From the snares of the dark,
O, Lord, save my life, be my strength.

Gracious is the Lord, and just.
Our God is mercy, rest to the weary.
Return my soul to the Lord our God who bids tears away.
I love the Lord.

How can I repay the Lord for all the goodness
He has shown me?
I will raise the cup of salvation and call on His name.
I love the Lord.

I shall live my vows to You before Your people,
I am Your servant.
I will offer You my sacrifice of praise and of pray'r.
I love the Lord.

Almighty and compassionate Father, thank You for Your compassion and mercy that led You to seek our redemption instead of our destruction. As we live each day, we pray for those less fortunate, especially those who are hurting, and whose wounds need to be healed. Send Your Holy Spirit into our hearts and minds that we may look to Jesus for strength, hope and the courage to share Your grace, mercy, love, and forgiveness in Him with everyone I meet today and everyday.

The Lord is kind and merciful.
