Mercies

As I ponder the beauty of the birth of Christ, I'm reminded of the bounty of His blessings.
Our salvation is a wonderful gift, far more than any of us deserve, and yet God continues to bless us. Mary mentions the everlasting mercies of The Lord in her song.
Luke 1:50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from generation to generation.
Jesus would soon be born to bring deliverance to men, but His saving grace wouldn't be limited to those of Mary's day nor did it end at His death.
We live in a dark, sinful world, but the grace of God is still offered to all who believe with all their heart that Jesus is the risen Son of God.
Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
