Hope all is well with you. But, actually I read the question about grace and mercy, and was reminded of when Sarah Stephens did a bible study in Phi Lamb over the attributes of God. And I'm not sure if she quoted Pink, or came up with this herself, it went something like this...<BR/><BR/>Grace is getting what you DON'T deserve and<BR/>Mercy is NOT getting what you deserve<BR/><BR/>It always helped me clarify, because sometimes people use those words without thinking about what they EACH mean. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26263396.post-1146891505752351902006-05-06T00:58:00.000-04:002006-05-06T00:58:00.000-04:00YAY!

I like your prompt today. Both grace ...Hi, Jamie! I like your prompt today. Both grace and mercy are so key in the Christian life. My pastor always says, "Grace is God's divine influence on the heart, and reflection in the life." I like that definition. It's a working grace. And mercy is God not totally destroying us and casting us off forever, which we deserved. And, He's a faithful forgiver of sin. I think they go together. God graciously has mercy on us!<BR/>sarah dodsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
