As individuals we take pleasure in various things, like listening to music, watching movies, reading novels or literature, hiking mountains, taking tour or travel and so on. But the God whom we adore and worship takes delight in extending mercy and that becomes a great advantage for us who fall and fail constantly. The description of the Prophet gives us greatest relief as we are always in need of His pardon and mercy; "Who is a God like you, who removes guilt and pardons sin for the remnant of his inheritance; Who does not persist in anger forever, but instead delights in mercy" (Mic 7:18). May we never stay in condemnation and guilt, for our loving God is always extending His forgiving mercy that wipes away the scars of our sins.

Abba, Thank You for pardoning our sins and removing the guilt. Let Your Spirit make us believe in Your delight in mercy, In Jesus’ Most merciful Name, Amen.
