Admit it and Quit it
“The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer”
Psalm 6:9 (NIV)
“Grace” is getting something we don’t deserve; a gift, salvation…”Mercy” is not getting something we do deserve; not punished for our wrongful actions.
There are times when we know we have done wrong, sinned, and come up with all the reasons and excuses for our actions because we don’t understand God’s mercy. He so badly wants us to “admit it and quit it”, so that we can move forward in our growth.
If we honestly admit to Him, then He can say; “I forgive you, and won’t hold that against you. I give you ‘mercy’. Start over.”
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, don’t let me live in defeat, don’t let me believe the lie in my head that “You won’t forgive me for that one”. Thank You that You always hear my prayers even if I don’t deserve it. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
