The goodness of the Lord is the mercy that becomes effective every morning, because the love of the Lord is infinite. They are good and faithful that every day we see the sun rise, He is telling us it is a new day, a new opportunity, make the most of the day that I have given you.
In mercy the compassionate character of God's love stands out, that is why we can not waste time on things that have no value, Jesus is waiting for his children to seek him, adore him, invoke him and give him his heart.
