"For the Lord is
good;
his mercy is everlasting' and his truth endureth to all
generations."
~ Psalm 100:5 ~
(KJV)
The
dictionary definition of mercy includes: forbearance, compassion, disposition
to be kind and forgiving.
This
is exactly what the Lord has towards all of mankind -- mercy -- undeserved
love.
God could just as easily
look at what is happening in the world today, throw up His hands in despair and
anger and give us what we all deserve. But He doesn't.
God
sent His Son, Jesus, to be the substitute for all of us who deserved God's
wrath for our sins. He took our place. So instead of the punishment
we deserve, those who believe in Jesus as their Lord and Savior are now
clothed in His righteousness and now receive God's mercy -- undeserved love.
How
long does His mercy last to us as believers -- forever, to all generations who
will accept Jesus as Savior.
If
you don't know Jesus as your Savior, repent of your sins and accept Him.
If you do know Him as Savior, praise God for His goodness and mercy.

Here is a song about mercy...
God gives us mercy that is hard to really understand. He offers it beyond when anyone should dare to expect it.He does this because it is His desire that no one should ever perish. Awesome.

So true! I wallow in His mercy on a daily basis, especially when I realize I'm clueless to most of the times I've offended and He has it all covered by His blood shed on the cross. What a God! How can I not love Him?!
