Written by Joni Eareckson Tada, a contemporary author. This is an excerpt from her book “The Practice of the Presence of Jesus.”
Our great King is eager to pour favor on his children. He does not wait for us to come to him; he seeks us out. He is actively pursuing us…God pursues us with goodness by giving us things we haven’t earned, such as warm friendships, food on the table, peace and safety in our streets, jobs to do and encouraging words over cups of coffee. God pursues us with mercy by not giving us what we have earned, such as judgment. He is quick to forgive and overflowing with love, all because of Jesus. God never grows weary of pouring out mercy and goodness
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. [Psalm 23:6]
