sigh
I sinned today and then had to go out and do a helping kind of job - i felt like such a hypocrite
before i went ended up praying for God's mercy, knowing full well that I did not deserve it, that it was entirely at God's discretion.
and i was humbled by His mercy, because it was a quiet evening (unusually) and one where I was truely encouraged even, which meant less pressure and given how I felt that was very welcome. it may seem a bit much to put that down to God, but to me it was God being merciful in reply that prayer.
we do serve a Merciful God who knows the end from the beginning and answered prayers of the other people there tonight for this evening and my own earlier prayer.
