This is a prayer of Gregory of Nyssa……
Lord, from You flows true and continual kindness.
You had cast us off and justly so,
but in Your mercy You forgave us.
You were at odds with us,
and You reconciled us.
You had set a curse on us,
and You blessed us.
You had banished us from the garden,
and You called us back again.
You took away the fig leaves
that had been an unsuitable garment,
and You clothed us in a cloak of great value.
You flung wide the prison gates,
and You gave the condemned a pardon.
You sprinkled clean water on us,
and You washed away the dirt.
“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity & cleanse me from my sin. Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.” (Psalm 51:1, 2, 7 NIV84).
I shared at Spiritual Sunday .
I’m thankful for God’s mercy and salvation. We need to just stop and praise Him for it sometimes. It’s miraculous and we let it get commonplace. Thank you for this reminder to stop and praise.
I was grateful for the reminder myself today 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!!
Thanks for the reminder that we have much to be thankful for because God’s bestowed his mercy and grace on us!
May we always remember & be filled with gratitude.
I am so grateful to know the Lord. His grace, His goodness, His life traded so I could live! I know no one who could offer me anymore! Thank you for this beautiful share today.
