Mercy beyond measure

A small measuring jug is shown being filled from a vast overflowing sea pouring in from outside the frame, far too much mercy for the little jug to ever hold.

Lord God, your power is beyond imagining, your glory beyond understanding, your mercy beyond measure and your kindness beyond words. Master, look down on us in your tender love, and show us, and everyone praying with us, your rich mercy and compassion. Amen.

Because of the loving devotion of the LORD we are not consumed, for His mercies never fail.

Lamentations 3:22 (BSB)
