Poetry
There are some things in life that naturally are common to man.
For the most part we enjoy many good things in this life, living as comfortably as we can.
All mankind are also born into this world with a common disease, this disease is called sin.
Many people bearing in their own bodies, grievous marks, only to helplessly fall again, and again.
The vilest of sinners in this world, ones that mankind would deem the chief stand in need of God’s wonderful mercy.
Yet the most righteous, and myself also have this in common, because we are dependent on the same mercy.
Mercy is yet another of our Lord’s wonderful attributes, one that daily every human most commonly needs.
Often times mankind is left with no other avenue of hope, and God so wonderfully is willing to accept our pleas.
Without Mercy, I would be like an unmanned vessel, tossed and beaten upon rocks from life’s most boisterous seas.
Driven about, taken captive often times, knocked down by self, and many other known enemies.
Without Mercy, I would be like a kite on a very windy day, soaring my way to new heights of sin.
Ever blown about, until another mighty gust lets me fall in the sight of God, and all men.
My Lord has been merciful so many times to me thus far, and I have no reason to believe that he won’t show me mercy again.
This thought lays me in the dust at God Almighty’s feet, full of humility. Not seeking a life trying to get closer to sin.
Today, I find myself in need of the same principle that I most desperately needed many, many years ago.
That principle is Mercy I must have it fresh every day from a Kind, Loving, Generous God that loves even me so
