A while back, my husband and I went to a Mark Schultz and Point of Grace concert. These were 2 of my many favorite musicians/ groups. While we were there, we bought a pack of CD's, which had some songs that I probably had not heard since I was in college. One of those songs was Kyrie Eleison, which is greek for "God have mercy."
The song points out that God has mercy on us during the good times and the bad. He is always there guiding our steps and giving us exactly what we need when we need it. He gives us mercy on the road that we travel, whether it is in light or darkness.
As we grow older, we choose our road. Sometimes the road is the right path, and sometimes well, we pick the wrong path. God is merciful enough to let us make our own decisions, and is right there waiting for us to come back to him. I know there have been many times that I benefited from God's mercy, because he walked me through the consequences that I had to face, and welcomed me back into his loving arms when I have strayed.
The thing that I find amazing about God, is that he allows us to choose our own path. Even when we blatantly choose the wrong path, God allows us to per sue it. He watches after us when we wander, and is lovingly waiting to bring us back when we want to come home. He allows us to make the choice, and somehow in his infinite wisdom, can bring good from even the worst mistakes. You can never wander too far that God will forget about you. No matter where you are, or what you are doing, God will always love you. You can never out sin God's love and mercy. Thank God for those provisions that he has chosen to make for us.
Good day and Kyrie Eleison!
