At some points in life you may feel empty, drained and overwhelmed with situations. Or maybe you fallen astray and don’t know what to do going forward, all your need is the mercy of God.

You know understand that God’s mercy, love, grace and favor are made available for you through the redemption that’s in Christ Jesus.

You need to also know that in the light of our sins we deserve punishment of death but God showed us mercy and compassion by withholding any form of punishment against us even though we deserve it.
