This photo was taken last year in Orange Walk. We went there for both of us to speak at a Youth Rally put on by CDF. On our way home we stopped at this street side stand to pick up some tacos.
The name Mercy's Place struck a chord with me. I want to be in that place. The place of God's mercy. His mercy is a precious gift which is not based on what we do or don't do. It is completely up to His discretion whom He chooses to grace with His mercy.
We are seeing some clients in severely difficult situations right now...and we find ourselves calling out to God for mercy on their behalf. Some are finding relief. But, a few are feeling the heat turned up even higher as they are caught in the wake of someone's sinful choices. And yet we know that God is faithful. And in His time He will set them free.
Meanwhile...we keep praying...we keep crying out to Him. And we keep trusting Him for mercy.
