Mercy and forgiveness

Hi Ladies, I posted this somewhere else. Thought I should share it with you. Feel free to share your thoughts. Luv u's!
Somebody once said “God isn’t a God of second chances. Woe to us if he were. He’s a God of infinite chances”.
Sometimes it’s better to be slow to speak and not to jump to conclusions about people that fall into sin.
I’d rather err on the side of mercy.“God is not only infinitely forgiving, he casts our sins into the sea and never looks back” – now, should we?
A question: Do you know somebody feeling inadequate to be a Christian because of a sin or shortcoming? Reach out to such a person. Who knows…?

“But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases, his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness” (3:21-23, NRSV).
