. A Comparison .

Found this in my drafts yesterday… not sure if it was complete at the time, but it’s still good food for thought now…

Mercy~

• Dictionary.com - compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender, an enemy, or other person in one's power; compassion, pity, or benevolence: Have mercy on the poor sinner
• Heidi – Not getting the consequences we deserve.

Grace ~

• Dictionary.com -
  1.elegance or beauty of form, manner, motion, or action.
  2.a pleasing or attractive quality or endowment.
  3.favor or good will.
• Heidi – Receiving God’s favor that we don’t deserve.

Many times I get these two things confused. The chapter I was reading this morning was on Mercy, so it caused me to once again ponder the difference and eternal implications of these two things… won’t you ponder with me?

Love,

H
