“Have mercy on me”… This Greek word- Eleeo- is often and inadequately defined as merely clemency for holding back a deserved punishment, when in reality it means to relieve or remove the suffering. This Greek word is used especially to signify God’s salvation in which He acts to reverse the adverse effects of sin. Our sins are not just forgiven, but they are removed as far as the East is from the West. The Lord’s mercy towards us has nothing to do with us, our predicament, or even how good or bad we are…it is because of His great mercy towards us that we are saved. We can do nothing to change His mercy towards us. Thank you Lord for having mercy on me today!
