Mercy In Motion

“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us…” Ephesians 2:4.

Mercy is not passive, it moves toward us. It is God’s divine response to human brokenness, not born from obligation but from deep love.

Ephesians 2 paints a stark before-and-after picture. We were dead in sin, lost in disobedience, bound by judgment. “But God, who is rich in mercy…” That one phrase turns the whole story around.

God’s mercy intercepts judgment, interrupts decay, and intervenes with grace.

This mercy doesn’t wait for you to get it all right. It met the prodigal son on the road home. It touched the leper before he was clean. It raised the woman caught in adultery from shame to freedom. It saw you in your worst moment and still chose love.

God’s mercy is active:
– It rescues when you’re sinking.
– It restores what sin tried to destroy.
– It renews you when you’ve given up.

This mercy flows not because you earned it, but because God is rich in it. He doesn’t run low. He doesn’t ration it. It is generous, overflowing, and always on time.

God’s mercy doesn’t wait for perfection, it meets you in the middle and carries you forward.

Lord, thank You for mercy that reaches me even when I fall short. Thank You for pursuing me with love, for rescuing me with grace, and for never giving up on me. Let my life be a reflection of the mercy You so freely give. Amen.
