Mercy

Some of my small collection of hymn books

The pianist played simple tunes before the service in the small church began yesterday.

I was familiar with the songs she played.
Songs like "Only Trust Him".

Its words passed through my mind.....

Come, every soul by sin oppressed,

there's MERCY with the Lord

Gratefully, I recognized and noted the word.  MY word for 2016.  Mercy!

A few minutes later we sang two gospel songs with the congregation.

In loving-kindness Jesus came

my soul in MERCY to reclaim.... 

followed by "Redeemed".

Redeemed through His infinite MERCY,

His child and forever I am.

 "For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive;
and plenteous in mercy to all them that call on you."  Psalm 86:5

"Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy."  Matthew 5:7
Since adopting this word, I am seeing it in one form or another almost every day!
I'm SO thankful for the Lord's mercy to me and pray to become merciful to others.
