“But then something happened! For it pleased God in his kindness to choose me and call me, even before I was born! What undeserved mercy!” Galatians 1:15 NLT
However a pet comes into our lives–whether it be carefully chosen from a litter, rescued from a shelter, or welcomed as a stray in the neighborhood–the moment comes for us to choose to accept and care for it.
God’s mercy for each of us existed long before we knew him–before we were born! This completely shows his love to be unmerited. It is freely given. And whether deserved or not, the love we give our pets is received with the type of joy we should show in response to God’s mercy. God has chosen us to be recipients of his great love. We honor God when we choose to let love into our lives.
Today, God, allow me to receive your love and to practice acts of mercy throughout my day.
