Today I have a Sense of- Extraordinary Mercy

"Bless the LORD, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity, 
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's...
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love...
He does not deal with us according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities...
As a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame;
he remembers that we are dust." - Psalm 103

May we never forget our wretchedness and His extraordinary mercy towards us! 
And as we stand in awe of His compassion may it put us on fire to share that extraordinary mercy with our dark and dying world.
