God’s Word on
Mercy
Jerry Ousley - Falling into the Hands of Mercy
Hebrews 10:31: “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.”
Instead of yielding to justice He wants to make us whole, complete and what He created
us to be. And He will if we allow Him too. If we will see His kindness, turn to the salvation
provided in His Son, Jesus Christ, and allow Him to begin to make the miracle of New Life a
new birth completely saturate us, then we will know the mercy of those hands.
Let God change our destiny. Let’s trust those big hands we’ve fallen into. If we do, we will
find that those hands that formed everything are safe, secure, and we’ll discover the mercy
found in the hands of God.`

Regardless what has happened in our lives or what we have made of them, we all find
ourselves in those big merciful hands. We deserve to die. Because of sin in our lives justice
would demand that God close those powerful hands and squeeze the very life from us. He
could. But sitting there in His hands He feels compassion, love, and somehow understands
what’s going on inside of us. He knows the pain that may have driven us to do the things
we’ve done. He knows the hatred that might be harbored in our hearts. He knows the fear
we deeply suppress so that others might think us to be hard, tough and raw. God knows.
