Day 24, Grace & Mercy

Today, on Day 24, it's going to be another no picture day. Because how do you show a picture of God's grace and mercy? Today I was thinking about that, because we're coming up on a year since the beginning of some really difficult times in my family. And there have been many, many times when I've not been able to show grace and mercy. And so I just kept my mouth shut. And while it's good that I kept my mouth shut, I still didn't show grace and mercy. And I know how hypocritical that is, because I take God's grace and mercy for granted most days. I've really struggled with this whole situation and how to extend love, and grace, and mercy in a really difficult situation. And I'm pretty sure that I've done a terrible job of it. And for that reason, because I recognize my own hypocrisy, I'm so incredible thankful for a God who each and every day extends unceasing grace and mercy to me, one of His sinful, hypocritical children who He chooses to call Beloved.
