I am not consumed and have my being because of Your never ending mercy.

And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:32(King James Version)

Well Beloved Abba, Father, You are so rich in mercy. There is forgiveness with thee. I am not consumed and have my being because of Your never ending mercy. You are ever so ready to forgive me when I come seeking You confessing my sins. Each new day brings with it Your mercies afresh. But I most often than not forget how much I am being forgiven by You each day when I deal with my fellow beings. I forget that all through the years I have been a recipient of kind mercies and grace from You and others. Please forgive me for being so harsh and judgmental of other people when they make mistakes or behave in ways that irritates me. Please help me always remember all the times I have been loved, forgiven, and accepted graciously by You and other people in spite of my behavior. Abba, help me to extend the same mercies and love to others who need it from me, even when it may seem to me that they are undeserving of my compassion. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, who is the love of my life, I pray. Amen
