Grace and mercy

Asking God for mercy is kind of like crying "uncle", it's like giving up when things get too hard. When what we should do is cry out "Father" I know you love me, and that your grace is sufficient, your word is my strength...that's the difference between mercy and Gods grace. Ask for mercy and you may get it, pray for grace and watch His love coat your life...both are good and well, and both are readily available, but first and foremost you must ask either as His child, or as one that is in dire need of Him and His mercy. Don't e discouraged, get to know him, grow with Him, seek His face and watch it shine lovingly on your life.
