Mercy triumphs over judgment

"Mercy triumphs over judgment" (James 2:13)

God of mercy and compassion, how blessed we are to be redeemed by your love. We failed you by our sinfulness and we failed you all the more by refusing to see your mercy that was ever reaching out to receive us. Today O God, we place into your hands, our lives, our failures and our endeavours to be right before you. Cover us in your love. Hold us close to your heart and bind our wounds of unfaithfulness and loneliness. As your love flows into our heart we commit ourselves to live this mercy, to bless those who broke and to bow down before those who trample us. For we know O God then shall your mission of defeating evil and saving this world shall be accomplished. Jesus, we trust in you. Amen.
