Is There Still Mercy Left for Me???

By Anita Mondragon
 
I have been thinking a lot about God’s mercy lately…how deep, and wide His love and grace reach.  Even though I was brought up in a Pastor’s home, and heard about Jesus, I strayed far, far from that truth for a long time.  When I finally came to the end of myself, I wondered if there was any mercy left for me…or if I had somehow exhausted the longsuffering of God.  The other day, as I sat pondering, and remembering how many times He has rescued me, I wrote this poem.  Thank God for His mercy and grace!
 
 
Oh!  What mercy!  …Can it be, 
that there’s still mercy left for me?
Me, who spurned God’s love and grace, 
and through sin, spit in His face;
I would not listen to His call, 
yet, He stood and wept each time I’d fall.

He stands there still…wounded hands outstretched,

Calling out to me… “Just come…repent!”

“My mercy is great!  There’s enough for you!  
Just trust in me, for my promise is true!”
Oh Lord, I come on bended knee, 
and beg you pour Your grace on me!
Forgive my vile and wretched soul…
let me believe and sin no more!
Oh! Hallelujah!  I plainly see…
THERE STILL IS MERCY, LEFT FOR ME!

 



ACT WITH JUSTICE.  LOVE MERCY.  BE HUMBLE.

“AND WHAT DOES THE LORD REQUIRE OF YOU?  TO ACT JUSTLY AND TO LOVE MERCY AND TO WALK HUMBLY WITH YOUR GOD.”  -MICAH 6:8  
 
Someone may say…”So that’s all God requires of me once I’ve made Him my Savior?”
 
YEP!  That’s it.  But let me tell you something that most of us have already come to know…It ain’t that easy!  It’s hard to act justly when you know all the facts sometimes. Especially when you and your loved ones have been affected by those facts!  You’d rather let ’em have it with both barrels!
