Mercy
“Mercy.
Mercy.
Mercy.”
Like waves gently lapping on the seashore,
rhythmic,
steady and true,
a promise more sure
than the sea is wide,
“Mercy.
My mercy,
it endures forever.”
You’ve never gone so far
that mercy cannot reach you
if only you believe.
Mercy,
like grace,
is more than just sufficient.
The sea is full
with the forgotten sins of man,
sins forgotten by God.
He placed them there.
Even the sea,
whether peaceful or raging,
full, so full with the sins of man,
knows mercy.
You can hear it in the whisper
of waves gently lapping on the seashore,
coming in but for the moment's kiss,
only to wash away again.
Let the shame that constantly reminds you
of sin long ago forgiven,
even before they were committed,
(for God already knew where you’d be
at any given moment)
ride back out with the water,
washed away,
and enter again into the Father’s rest.
You owe it to Him
to receive
as much as you owe it to yourself,
even more so,
because He offers His mercy so freely.
“Mercy.
Mercy.
Mercy.
How, oh how,
My child,
I would that you receive.
Yes, even now, when you least believe
you are worthy.
Mercy.”
