Lead me, Your hand of mercy resting on my shoulder. Shepherd me from my wretchedness. Purify me in Your love. Go and learn what this text means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ I have come to call not the righteous but sinners. Matthew 9:13
Mercy, an endless stream of compassion, a river flowing from a mountain's summit, purifying those who step into the current. The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.” Lamentations 3:22-24
