Thanks for breaking it down. That’s what I need it. I need a breakdown. I needed a break down and broke it down the way I needed you to break it down and I appreciate it. You don’t have to do it again I appreciate it. I love you for it. I love you for it I do I really do. I just needed a break down.

Lord Jesus, let love rain, like sweet mercy from heaven. Let mercy flow like waves and waves flowing richly from the heart of God.
May love arise ... may mercy come forth ... may love and mercy bring forth hearts of compassion. Compassion for the lost, compassion for the thirsty, compassion for the hungry, compassion for the poor, compassion for the homeless, compassion for others. Not in just words or deeds done, but from the depths of the heart seeking to give Glory to God through open arms embracing the needs of others. May we look with the heart of God. May we see with his eyes or mercy and compassion and may we do all things to His Glory. For the river of God is love, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is sweet mercy, may it flow richly through us. For the river of God is compassion, may they see it in our eyes, hear it from our hearts and see it through open arms embracing the needs of others. May we place others even before ourselves and love like Jesus did.

Thank you so much for explaining everything so clearly. I like what you say about the Butler looking to his master's hand to see what he needs and be ready tto provide it for him, everything you say is anointed. from June from Ireland

I learned more about prayer from your comments. I’m very thankful for the work you do that enriches my spiritual and temporal life.

Happy Christmas! (Well it is here for me as I read this today.) What a Lord God we have, who listens to our prayers and cries, who is merciful and can understand what we suffer as He himself came to earth for us. Jesus added humanity to His deity, truly God and truly man. What a Saviour. Thank you pastor David for teaching me this so I can fix my eyes on Him in a new light. Happy Christmas!!

Like the mechanic's apprentice has the tool ready for the master mechanic .

"of those who are at ease" and "of the proud"...

College students who believe that they are entitled to their student loans to be paid by others just because.

"My body my choice" people who believe they are entitled to live sexually immoral and get abortions, just because.

Yeah, I see how they filled their contempt for God's people.

God have mercy... not only God's people but also them.

God have mercy on all of us.

Thank you for the enduring word.
