Mercy

We think we have more power than we do. 

I know I do…

I blame myself for so much…

Not being the Mother I should have been…

Pushing my children away because of how I speak…

But my prayer has always been that the Lord would place my children in the path He has prepared for them and keep them there, hoping that His path leads to Him. 

I don’t believe that all paths lead to God. 

I hope that my path does and the paths that my children and grandchildren take do also. 

I was reading one of Paul’s letters and seeing more than what the words said….

Things I know but needed reminding about…

How the Spirit is separate from the flesh. 

How the flesh is dead and only the spirit is alive. 

And thinking of Legions, how the flesh was torn and the evil spirits had taken hold…

But the Holy Spirit came and destroyed the evil spirits. How Jesus Christ knew the man. Jesus knew he was one of His lost sheep He was meant to find. 

And thinking of the blind man who Jesus’s disciples asked who sinned that the son should be born blind. And how Jesus answered that the man was blind to show God’s power. 

You see, I know that we are all created only to show God’s strength. We are created that the Lord’s work is manifest in us. 

We are dead in sin. 

The flesh is dead because of sin. 

God is alive and we are the works of His hand. 

I haven’t caused my children these things they have to suffer through. They suffer because the Lord is using them for His glory. 

God makes miracles. 

He changed the water to wine and parted the sea. He is such an awesome God and we do not give Him the credit. 

We still want to control every little aspect but God is in control. He has all power. He has always been and will always be. 

He says, before the world was I AM. He IS. That’s it. He is the beginning and the ending. 

Lord have mercy on me.
