Through prayer, God’s Word, and the Holy Spirit living inside of us, each day brings fresh new mercy. This is another reason Spiritual Disciplines are so very important. Every morning, God is faithful, even though every day, we fall short. Mercy is God’s gift to the repentant heart and what we do in response to God’s mercy sends an important message to the people in our lives. The book of James is very clear that though deeds are not required to earn God’s favor, or to be a Christ-follower, a repentant heart that loves God will surely be evident by the lives we live. - Pastor Ryan Martinez
