“The Lord is good to all, and his mercy is over all that he has made.”
(Psalm 145:9 ESV)
“Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!”
(Psalm 34:8 ESV)
Another Facebook inspiration:
“Grace is when God gives us good things we don’t deserve. Mercy is when He spares us from bad things we deserve. Blessings is when He is generous with both. Truly, we can never run out of reasons to thank Him. God is good all the time.”

Have you ever gotten something good you did not deserve? How about not getting something you deserved? On one hand, God’s grace provides us with things even if we don’t deserve them. But on the other hand, God’s mercy protects us from things we deserve.
By God’s mercy protecting us from things we deserve, I mean punishment for our actions or words. Words can cut someone like a knife and leave a permanent scar. But God sends blessings to us. He sends good things like healing, finances, and help in times of trouble, among other things.
In the times we are living in now, we need God’s mercy and grace to surround us and protect us. God will send His angels to watch over us. His angels hold us up and protect us from trouble. It’s through God’s mercy that we aren’t swept away in the turmoil of the issues in the world today.
God is watching out for us. Have you thanked Him for it? Have you thanked Him for anything? Maybe it’s time we all started thanking God more often. Thank God for the good times. Thank Him for things you want or need, even before it comes. Just keep praising and thanking God for everything.
god loves you, and so do I. Have a great day.
