We played it as children – MERCY! In hindsight, it was really a game of arrogance to see who’s the strongest rather than a game of compassion and mercy. Yet, so many treat God’s Mercy as a Game. Pastor Jeffrey Daniel used to always say, “It’s easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.” Too many times folks sin with a flippant attitude that I’ll just ask for MERCY and God will give it. Since the Mercy of God is not a game to be played but a gift that’s precious, choose the best and stop settling for less!
