From the look of the observers
the boy was dead, lifeless, but
resuscitation efforts continued,
succeeding only as the Giver
exhaled His last.
"Yes, our God is a merciful God, a character trait for which we should give thanks each day. Consider if God were not merciful. What if he demanded honor and worship without offering fellowship? What if he demanded perfection without providing a means for us to achieve it? What if he demanded that we serve him without his Spirit to guide us? We are so blessed because our God is a merciful God...
As you spend time pondering God’s mercy in prayer today, gaze especially at the cross. This one act of love reveals mercy at its ultimate: Jesus Christ, the Son of God, offered up his own life for your salvation. How can we look upon this image and not be drawn deeper to our awesome God? How can we possibly hide behind our sins or unworthiness?" - today's Word Among Us meditation
