Freely Give Us All Things

Romans 8:32

He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
The nature of the love of our Father in heaven is to freely give us all. He will never be denied the fulfillment of His purpose in creation, to raise up mankind in the image of Christ. Jesus is the firstborn among many brethren. The saints will be living manifestations of His goodness, love, grace, mercy, and truth. The love of God which is fulfilled in us as we dwell in Christ Jesus our Lord, will redeem all corruption in creation and raise up incorruption to the glory of God Almighty.

Fire Shut Up In My Bones

Jeremiah 20:9

Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak any more in His name. But His word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.
There are remedial judgments sweeping the United States, for the land is under fierce wrath for a people who have turned their backs on the LORD of hosts. He is not mocked by the outcry of the ungodly against His laws, His will, and His way. He is the commander of the angelic hosts. He is mighty to save and just. He is faithful to keep His covenant for those who perform His word, and He is faithful to perform His Word upon those who do not keep His covenant. As it is written,

Psalm 103:17-18

But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him, and His righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep His covenant, and to those that remember His commandments to do them.

They Held Their Peace

Luke 20:26

And they could not take hold of His words before the people: and they marvelled at His answer, and held their peace.
Many have tried since the birth of the Son of man to pick apart His words, and thereby to seize Him in attempts to undermine the truth before the people. Inevitably everyone will stand before God, silent and alone, marveling and in awe at the simplicity of His Truth and the righteousness of His judgment. To those who strive to manipulate His Word, the Word will judge them and grind them to powder, as Jesus Christ passes through their midst untouched. His desire is for mercy to triumph over judgment, but this can only happen after we submit to His Word.

He Will Heal Us

Hosea 6:1

Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for He hath torn, and He will heal us; He hath smitten, and He will bind us up.
The LORD corrects according to His ways of judgment: righteously, and always on the side of His truth. There are no grey areas with God, only unbelief by men. Consider this: if one ignores God’s law of gravity and steps off a cliff, there are consequences. So when this passage describes tearing and smiting, this is His faithfulness to His judgment. When it describes healing and binding up of wounds, it is His abundant mercy when we return to Him.

The Souls Which God Has Made

Isaiah 57:16-17

For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth: for the spirit should fail before Me, and the souls which I have made. For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him: I hid Me, and was wroth, and he went on frowardly in the way of his heart.
If not for the covenant God made with Noah the world would perish, along with every soul that God has ever made. If not for His purposeful intention to save mankind through the unveiling of Jesus Christ, every spirit would fail before the blast furnace of His wrath, in righteous judgment of iniquity. In His everlasting mercy God planned the eternal sacrifice of the Lamb from before time had a name, and has performed His Word not to contend with man forever, to fulfill His Seed and make mankind in His image for endless time in fellowship with Him. If He had not given the Lamb from the foundation of the world; if He had not hidden His face from the apostasy of mankind, He would have been honor bound by His own Word to judge and destroy creation. It is only by His Son, soon to be revealed in the heavens, that we, the redeemed, will stand before Him in glory.

Mercy Rejoices Against Judgment

James 2:13

For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath showed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment.
God poured out His soul unto death to save mankind from the destruction of iniquity. He is just and right and all His ways are judgment, yet His first choice for mankind is mercy. His heart rejoices when men receive His mercy and truth, and the heavenly hosts rejoice with Him.

Depart From Evil

Proverbs 16:6 KJV
By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and by the fear of the Lord men depart from evil.
When the Lord manifests Himself, His starting point is a combination of mercy and truth. He exercises His mercy, which is the root of His chesed love, because of His covenant keeping faithfulness. His merciful nature reaches out, temporarily overlooking the required judgment for sin, to present you with the truth about yourself. The fear of the Lord is the only right response: this rewards His mercy with repentance. Take a long look at the hard truth He reveals in the mirror of His Spirit, and totally depart from evil. This is the highway straight to His heart, as it is written:
Proverbs 16:17 KJV
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
