Lamentations 3:22 - "It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not." - What a powerful verse. We deserve destruction, God gives us redemptive love, we deserve discipline, God gives grace, we deserve eternal damnation, God gives mercy so we don't get what we DO deserve. We were His enemies and deserved His vengence, God, however gave - & still does - us compassion. PRASIE GOD!!
