The God Who Is Rich in Mercy: A Fountain for the Weary

The beauty of God's character is that He does not treat us according to what our sins or circumstances deserve. He is not just merciful; the Apostle Paul declares that He is rich in mercy (Dives in Misericordia).

When we named this sanctuary *Kisima Bethsaida*, we were acknowledging that our city is full of people who need an endless reservoir of grace. Mercy is the reason the Ndeje Mountain prayer group grew into a refuge for hundreds of souls today.

Grace vs. Mercy

• Grace is God giving us the good things we do not deserve.

• Mercy is God withholding the judgment and destruction that we do deserve.

If you feel too weary to continue, or if trauma has paralyzed your expectations, look at the cross. God's rich mercy has already qualified you for restoration. You do not need to perform or impress anyone. Simply come to the fountain, drop your heavy burdens, and let His rich mercy overflow your life.
