~ The Lord Your God Is a Merciful God ~

But if from there
you seek the Lord your God,
you will find Him if you look for Him
with all your heart and with all your soul.
When you are in distress
and all these things have happened to you,
then in later days
you will return to the Lord your God
and obey Him.
For the Lord your God is a merciful God . . ..

Acknowledge and take to heart this day
that the Lord is God in heaven above
and on the earth below.
There is no other.
 
(Deuteronomy 29-31, 39)
