Storehouse of God’s Grace and Mercy
We are storehouses of God’s grace and mercy;
His compassion fails not.
It’s new every morning, He taught,
and for our welfare and safety, He sought.
We’re not consumed because of His mercy;
His love is immeasurable.
His grace is unsearchable,
and His compassion indescribable.

Rich Blessing of the Lord
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and He adds no sorrow with it.
—Proverbs 10:22 (NKJV)
Do you know that God wants you to prosper, and be healthy, and enjoy a victorious life? Are you anticipating an abundant life filled with His rich blessings? Additionally, the Lord’s blessings are His original plan for you. As you do good, show mercy, and help the poor and needy, the favor of the Lord will be evident in your life. Love as the Lord loves, and learn to forgive as He forgives.
And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ. (Colossians 3:23–24 KJV)
Therefore, all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets. (Matthew 7:12 KJV)
Whether you are dealing with a difficult client or a loved one, provide excellent care. Do it with a heart full of love. After you have done the best you can, you’ll experience a sense of satisfaction and contentment.
God’s Word affirms in Psalm 84:11–12 KJV, “For the Lord God is a sun and shield: the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.”
