“But go and learn what this means:  ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Matthew 9:13

Prayer: I thrive because Your mercies are manifold and new every morning, for You are full of forgiveness, tenderhearted and kind to all Your children.  Father-God, rescue me today from any self-righteousness or overblown sense of importance and let Your mercy give birth to mercy. I desire to diligently practice this be-attitude in my life.
