MARCH 12

God Is All-merciful
PRAYER.

Sovereign Lord, through Christ's Redemption, my sins are forgiven. Let me always repent and seek Your mercy whenever I offend You.

WHATEVER has been your past life, God's mercies in Christ are offered to you. Come to Him for them; approach Him and you shall find Him.

Let not your past sins keep you from Him. Whatever they be, they cannot interfere with His grace stored up for all who come to Him for it. Keeping from Him is not to escape from His power, only from His love. Surrender yourselves to Him in faith and holy fear.
