"For the ground of mercy is love, and the working of mercy is our keeping in love."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 48)
Christ's wonderful mercy or compassion is seen in the way He is our Keeper, holding onto us always, keeping us in His love and presence and victory. He is like an eagle carrying us on His strong back, so we are soaring on His swift wings, and we just keep going up with Him, no matter what. He has us bonded to Him in love and oneness, so that we can never fall out of Him or lose altitude. Instead, we just keep going up and up. Mercy has found us at our lowest point, picked us up and taken us to the highest point, and is keeping us there - right now we are soaring with Christ in heavenly places. That is the amazing grace of God!
"In all their suffering he also suffered, and he personally rescued them. In his love and mercy he redeemed them. He lifted them up and carried them.."
Isaiah 63:9 (NLV)
"I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself."
Exodus 19:4 (NLV)
A Prayer: I'm soaring with You!
