A Precious Promise: Mercy<\/u><\/strong>
\nBut the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and\u00a0His righteousness unto children’s children.<\/em> Psalm 103:17<\/p>\n

Thoughts:
\n<\/u><\/strong>What is the Promise?\u00a0 That God’s Mercy is for us, our children and our grandchildren, if we, our children, and grandchildren will believe God’s word and accept His free gift of salvation in Jesus. In doing this, we and they, will receive: -Justification–Salvation–Eternal Life<\/p>\n

“But God is so rich in mercy, and He loved us so very much, that even while we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead. God saved you by His special favor when you believed.”<\/em> Ephesians 2:4,5,8<\/p>\n

Prayer: <\/u><\/strong>
\nDear God,
\nthank You for Your great mercy to me and to all those who believe.<\/p>\n

Thank You that because of Your great mercy all can have the hope of forgiveness and eternal life with You.<\/p>\n

I will never cease to declare Your mercy to my family and others so they may know and have the opportunity to believe and receive also.<\/p>\n

Thank You God. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.<\/p>\n

His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.<\/em> Luke 1:50<\/p>\n
