God’s mercy isn’t just for mistakes others make — it covers yours too. Even when your own poor choices, procrastination, or irresponsibility create a mess, you are invited to boldly approach the throne of grace. Mercy is part of your inheritance as a child of God, and His grace provides timely help — even when you feel undeserving. The Gospel really is “almost too good to be true news.” Pride says, “I got myself into this, so I have to get myself out.” Faith says, “Father, here’s my mess. I trust Your mercy to help me.” There’s no better way to live than surrounded by His mercy and grace! Question to Ponder: What situation in your life today needs you to humbly invite God’s mercy — even if it was your own “piece of stupid” that caused it?
