Quiet Time: Mercy - Story

Imagine a child standing at the edge of a vast lake, the water shimmering under the golden rays of the sun. As the child throws a pebble, ripples dance across the surface, expanding outward, touching every corner of the lake. This simple act holds profound significance—much like our moments of quiet reflection and prayer.

Psalm 46:10 invites us to “Be still, and know that I am God.” It is in these still moments that we can truly embrace the mercy that God extends to us. Picture a gentle hand reaching out, cupping our face, whispering grace over our worries and fears. Just as a parent reassures a child during a storm, God invites us to seek refuge in His presence.

When we pause, we cultivate patience within ourselves, allowing God to guide our hearts. Our hurried lives often drown out the whispers of His mercy, but when we quiet our souls, we create space for awe. It is in this sacred stillness that we encounter the divine; it’s where our burdens lift and we are reminded of our worth in His eyes.

As you carve out time in your day for silence, envision each moment as a ripple—a chance to glorify God with your heart open wide. In the stillness, you discover the comfort of His embrace and the transformative power of His mercy. Let the ripples of His grace wash over you and fill you with hope, for in this quiet time, you are not alone.
