He is Merciful

⁸ The LORD is merciful and gracious,
         Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth,
         So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
 ¹² As far as the east is from the west,
         So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
                                                -Psalm 103

This passage was particularly encouraging to me today. It shows how patient God is with us no matter what we do. This Psalm compares His mercy to the distance between the heavens and the earth...He is so merciful. His mercy is so plentiful that it will never run out. And as far as the east is from the west has he removed our wrongdoings from us. He has distanced them far enough to where we shouldn't even remembe any of it. Once God removes it, it is gone. God Himself doesn't remember it or look back at it. He won't be holding us responsible for our transgressions once we've been forgiven...that's how great His mercy is. God is always slow to anger and is ready to pour out His love and mercy on us if only we surrender our ways and fear God!
