“… the Lord is compassionate and merciful (James 5:11).”

Jesus’ brother James wrote these words over two thousand years ago.. There is no doubt that he knew the ancient song that rejoiced in these lyrics:

“For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor, a lifetime.” – Psalm 30:5

So revel in these words that are true for you in 2021. Through Christ, you are a recipient of the compassion, mercy, and favor of God.
