Almighty God's Mercy
Walks A Thorny Path
Slighted By Puffed-Up Men
Who Sniff
AND
Spit
When She Does Pass!
Uncaring
They Dismiss Her!
Ignorant By Will
From Her They Look Away
Blissfully Unaware
Uncaring
That There Is The Day Coming
When For What Was Available Free
They Would With Their Sordid Lives
Unfailingly Pay!
Problem Is
Mercy Cannot Be
Begged
Bought
Bartered
Nor Sold!
Mercy Is Non-Negotiable!
Mercy Is Not A Hot Beverage Sold Cold!
Mercy
Has Grace Attached!
Grace Has Abiding Love!
The Abiding Love Of A Dear Savior
In Whose Heart
We Fit
Like Customized Gloves!
Mercy Wears A Simple Dress
Known As Salvation From The Eternal God
With Perfect Shoes Called
Confession And Repentance Of Sin
AND
The Merits Of Jesus Christ Take Hold!
In Mercy's Hands Are
Forgiveness
AND
Blessing!
The Entreaty In Her Loving Eyes Say:
"Beloved Sinner Come Home!"
AND
In Her Voice
Is The Call To Holy Communion
AND
The Request To Accept God's Gifts
With Blessed Hope And Humility
AND
Not To Live A Life Of Gross Futility!
BUT ...
Sorrowful Is Her Walk Among Men
No Matter Their Ages
AND
Nor Matter Their Stages!
Bitter Is The Taste
Crude Men Leave In Her Mouth!
Burning Are Her Ears
From Crass Imprecation
AND
Blood-Red Her Eyes
From Innumerable Shed Tears!
Dear Ones,
Draw Near
AND
Hear
Her Gentle Voice Calling!
Draw Near - There Is No Need For Fear!
Draw Near
For He Who Sends Her
Is Waiting
To Accept Those Who Answer
Her Quiet Calls
Into His All-Encompassing Care!
Take Heed
AND
Take A Moment To Remember
The People Of Sodom And Gomorrah
Of Biblical Fame
And Note That
Idleness
Fulness Of Bread
Greed For Gain
In A Licentious Domain
Caused All To Perish
In Fiery Conflagration
Because Self
Refused Mercy
AND
Her Loving Restraints!
God's Mercy
Once Accepted
Has Holds
On What Once Wilful Men
Called Goals!
Willing Acceptance Of
God's Mercy Makes Men
From Sinning Turn Away Cold!
Imbibing Mercy
Renders One Able
To Walk Upright
AND
Clean
Changing Hateful Dispositions
AND
Righting The One Once Vulgar And Obscene
AND
Before God
Rendering The Enemy
Into A Friend
In Whose Ways
God Is Well Pleased!
Mercy Is Our Friend!
Don't Despise Her, I Plead!
Take Hold Upon Mercy
AND
Look Forward To Growing A Bountiful Crop
From The Seed Of The Fruit Of The Holy Spirit
AND
Know
Of A Truth
That Satan And His Minions
Won't You From Getting To Heaven
Be Able To Stop!
Available Upon Request:
The MERCY Of Almighty God!
Get Your Free Personal Supply
By Saying
A Contrite Heart's Prayer!
