Praise the Lord! I was with him when she finally called, crying and telling him sorry for going a little crazy on him. I had spoken to her earlier and told her how a customer was upset with us. I told her that there is a word the world seems to have forgotten about MERCY (Forgiveness without punishment). I explained to Ember that this dad, who goes overboard in his responsibilities for us, deserved our MERCY. None of us are perfect! Sometimes we will hold back some hurtful words as an act of love. We will overlook and pretend we don’t see some things and pretend we don’t hear some things we hear with our eyes always on God, asking what He would have us do. God, what would make you happy here? Like my brother, Kevin, brilliantly stated, “It ain’t that serious!”
Fast forward to this morning, the song ‘Mercy’ played by Shawn Mendes, and I knew right away this was a message from God to us all today. God, who is extremely merciful, loving, and patient with us, asks us to do the same for others. Can we be God’s angels in the world? We all mess up, and no one ever gets it right all the time!
Don’t miss out on the best life with God! I was reminded of something very important from Ceri yesterday about EXPECTING God’s supernatural help and favor. We can show up in the physical realm doing the utmost of our abilities and then leave God to handle the rest by working in the spiritual realm on our behalf. Wink! Wink!
CASE IN POINT: In trying to collect some monies owed from a customer, they didn’t answer our call. So we set a reminder to call again at 4 pm. As we go to call her again, I’m told that their representative is in our waiting room. I used it as an opportunity to bring up the balance politely. The gentleman is unbelievably taking complete charge of helping us get paid. That’s God’s favor in action – sending the people we need to assist us! We need to stay positive, KNOWING OUR HELP COMES FROM THE LORD, MAKER OF HEAVEN AND EARTH! NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR GOD, PERIOD! Wink! Wink!
