The Lord is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.- Psalm 145:8-9
Exodus: 32. 7. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves: 8. They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 9. And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: 10. Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. 11. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? 12. Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. 13. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. 14. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
Our God is full of mercy. The Bible says, "His mercies endureth forever." The Lord's mercies extends to all without discrimination. He is compassionate towards all His creatures, without exceptions. All His works give thanks to Him because their very existence demonstrate and affirm the power of His mercy.

If not for the mercy of God, many enviable destinies would have been destroyed. Thank God for His mercies endureth forever. Amen!!!

Nice post @godshand. Let me add this.....
Everyone wants to be perfect. But that is impossible. Everyone is a sinner after the original sin of Adam and Eve. That is why we cry out for God's mercy. Man can now be perfect because of his mercy. God's mercy endureth forever.

I always pray and ask God for His mercy. We all need God mercy. That why Roman 9:16 says: *"So then, it is not of him that willeth nor of him that runneth , but of God that showeth mercy. And Eccl 9:11 further affirms: The race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither bread to the wise, not yet favour to the men of skill, but time and chance happen to them all
