Gracious and merciful. Merciful and gracious. Jonah describes God as gracious and merciful. How would you describe Jonah? How would you describe yourself? How would you describe God? As Christians we are here to praise and give God thanks. We are not hear to barter with God, to give God ultimatums. As a Christian each one of us are asked to love, obey, and serve God. We are asked to seek goodness, kindness and holiness. Our lives are to be filed with charity, humility, compassion, mercy, and love. It is a challenge to be gracious, to be merciful.
As a Christian I have the choice to be like Christ, to follow in the footsteps of Christ or to live an earthy life filled with all types of fleshy desires and anxiety.
As Christians we are all charged with proclaiming the Good News by our words, by our deeds.
With time, patience, and prayer hopefully we can be described as gracious and merciful.
May our deeds lead each of us to the heavenly kingdom of God. May our deeds encourage others to join you on your journey, may our deeds encourage others to believe in God
