Psalm 69:1<\/strong>–3 <\/strong>\u201cSave me, O God!\u00a0 For\u00a0the waters have come up to my neck.\u00a0 2\u00a0I sink in deep\u00a0mire, where there is no foothold; I have come into deep waters, and the flood\u00a0sweeps over me.\u00a0 3\u00a0I am weary with my crying out; my throat is parched.\u00a0 My eyes grow dim with\u00a0waiting for my God.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I confess that at times I have blown it\u2026bad.\u00a0 But I also gladly also confess that in spite of what I have deserved the Lord has always given me better.\u00a0 His love and mercy has been visibly seen by me and His loving touch has been felt through some unexpected people, and by my brothers and sisters in the Spirit and by blood.\u00a0 When persons drive themselves into trouble, and become entirely mired, the Lord still loves us and it is His hand that pulls us free.<\/p>\n

Oh, remember the kindness, mercy and goodness of the Lord God.<\/p>\n

He has rescued before and is able to rescue again.<\/p>\n

So why despair oh my silly soul?<\/p>\n

I will call upon He who loves me.<\/p>\n

As I call out to be saved,<\/p>\n

He saves me,<\/p>\n

Not because I deserve it.<\/p>\n

But because He is pure love<\/p>\n

And pure love will save.<\/p>\n

I cry out \u201cI\u2019m unworthy Lord\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet you come to save me because of your great love.<\/p>\n

The depth of your love Lord God cannot be sounded.<\/p>\n

Yet we know that the sounding is correct when it is too deep<\/p>\n

And it is called out \u2018by the mark!\u201d\u00a0 For His love is beyond understanding and is deep beyond measurement.\u00a0 Oh God, How wonderful and fearful you are.\u00a0 Lord God, may I never find the sounding of your love.<\/p>\n

My eyes may grow useless as I wait for your answer,<\/p>\n

but still they will search for your response.<\/p>\n

He has called remembrance of His great works,<\/p>\n

And to celebrate them.<\/p>\n

It is for our benefit we must remember what He has done.<\/p>\n

What He has done reveals who He is.<\/p>\n

As we remember who He is,<\/p>\n

Our hope grows, our hope in Him, grows.<\/p>\n

Praise God who saves because He loves and He is good,<\/p>\n

All the time.\u00a0 Without end, without limitations.<\/p>\n

Thank you Lord that we have no rope long enough<\/p>\n

To sound the depths of your love for us and goodness to us.<\/p>\n

Thank you Lord.\u00a0 In you we trust.\u00a0 We praise you Lord God Almighty!<\/p>\n

Titus 3:4-7 <\/strong>\u201c4\u00a0But when\u00a0the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,\u00a05\u00a0he saved us,\u00a0not because of works done by us in righteousness, but\u00a0according to his own mercy, by\u00a0the washing of regeneration and\u00a0renewal of the Holy Spirit,\u00a06\u00a0whom he\u00a0poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior,\u00a07\u00a0so that\u00a0being justified by his grace we might become\u00a0heirs\u00a0according to the hope of eternal life.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em>Ephesians 2:8-9<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u201c<\/strong>For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.\u201d<\/p>\n

1 John 1:9<\/a><\/span>\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
