His Incredible Mercy

Shirley A Mandel
There's a church
in Baltimore
that call's itself
Greater Grace.

And I don't know
what greater grace
there can be
than the cross of Jesus Christ.

But if there is indeed
a greater grace,
I have experienced it
because I really messed up.

Thank you Lord
for your incredible mercy!

    I mess up everyday. Sometimes I can mess up before I get out of bed, those are days I need Him most. His grace covers all.

    As Michele has already written, and your poem so clearly expresses. Though each of us travels through a different valley, when one shares their hurt it always stirs the Spirt that abides within the other. Know your hurt, my friend, and I know that loving grace of which your poem so simple proclaims. Thank you for sharing.
