When we sin, it's important to remember. God isn't stingy with his mercy and grace.

He's not middle class in mercy. He's not giving of it, but careful not to dole out too much.

He is a billionaire in the currency of mercy.

impacting on me and hundreds of thousands of others as well. I'm holding it

in my hand. It's by Dane Ortland. It's called Gentle and Lowly. The subtitle is the heart of Christ
