A Great and Awesome God

Sadly, there are many who don't believe that God exists. Or if He does, He has no right to judge us, nor do we, to praise Him. Instead they think that all the wonders we enjoy are our own creation. We are the great and awesome ones. And, what is good and right is relative to our individual leanings and has nothing to do with the sovereignty of the Lord.
Someday, whether you believe it or not, there will be a moment of truth for every one of us and we'll see without a doubt who is truly great - truly awesome.

As for me, I'll bet on the Lord, the "great and awesome God," who does not "deal with us according to our sins," but whose mercy is forever. (Daniel 9:4)

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
