Love and Mercy (not my writing)

*a little expansion of a verse in my Bible*

"oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever." -Psalm 136:1

This whole chapter tells about God's enduring mercy. He loves us with an unconditional love. It doesn't matter what you look like, how much money you have, or what your past is like. God loves you anyway! Regardless of anything, God lvoes you just the same. That's the kind of love we need to have for each other. We need to look at the world through Jesus' eyes. There's a story in Mark 2 about 4 men who brought a man, crippled with disease, to Jesus. THere was not enough room for them, so they ripped a hole in the roof where Jesus was teaching and lowered the man down through the hole. now that's compassion. When Jesus saw their faith, He healed the man. These four men loved their friend with an unconditional love. They were willing to rip off a roof to get him healed. He was sick with a disease, so he prob didn't look or smell that good. They prob had needs themselves, but the only thing they were concerned about was getting their friend to Jesus! Unconditional love. Remember that God loves you unconditionally. Like those friends, He's willing to rip a roof off in order to show you the love and mercy you need.
