Mercy and the Truth of Sin
40 Days of Mercy Devotional – Lent 2012 – Day 8
The knowledge of my own misery allows me to know the immensity of Your mercy. (56) Do not withhold Your mercy from me, O Lord; may Your love and Your truth always protect me. (Psalm 40:10-11)
Father, we ask for great clarity and discernment regarding the nature of Mercy. Please rouse us where we have adopted worldly ideas of her. We pray for the conviction of sin in our own hearts and in those we love; help us to see how sin actually distorts Your very image in us. May Mercy have access to the misery that invites Your cleansing and healing. Burn off the dross, O God, that we might represent You well. Let Mercy have her perfect way in us.
