Praise His Name: MERCIFUL
\n“For I am Merciful…”says the Lord, Jeremiah<\/em>\u00a03:12 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Thought:
\nA merciful person is someone who is kind, compassionate and forgiving.\u00a0 They show mercy to those who don’t deserve it.
\nYes, our God is merciful.<\/em> Psalm 116:5 (NKJV) God is full of mercy and is kind, compassionate and forgiving to all of us, for He loves us dearly.
\nToday let’s pause to praise God for being Merciful.
\nFor,” The Lord is gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and great in mercy.”<\/em> Psalm 145:8 (NKJV)<\/p>\n

Today’s Praise Pause:
\nDear God, I pause to praise You today as Merciful, One who is great in Mercy.
\nFor even when I was dead in sin, You in Your rich mercy and great love made me alive in Christ.
\nTherefore, I pause to praise You for being kind, compassionate and forgiving to me and I give You thanks every day for being Merciful!<\/p>\n
