Mercy's Mark

I'm listening to a CD by a quartet called Mercy's Mark. What a great name! Isn't that, after all, what all of us who claim the name of Christ are? We're like footprints of the mercy of our Lord and Savior. I gotta tell ya: if I got what I deserved I'd split Hell wide open! It never ceases to amaze me just how sinful I am, just how many times I can fail God, turn my back on Him and make the same mistakes over and over. We talk about how Judas betrayed Christ, but isn't that exactly what we do every time we, after having partaken of His grace and mercy and forgiveness, choose sin? Yet He's always there with mercy great enough to forgive every sin. As I look back over the past almost 25 years, I have to say that my life truly is a living stamp of mercy's mark, and I must be eternally grateful.
