GOD IS MERCIFUL AND GRACIOUS

In His steadfast love, the Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in loving kindness. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so is God's steadfast love toward those who with godly fear, reverence Him. Ps. 103:8-11

But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who, with godly fear reverence Him...to those who remember to obey His commandments. The steadast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end. For though He allows grief, He will have compassion according to the abundance of His steadfast love. With the merciful, You will show yourself merciful. With those completed in You, You will show Yourself complete. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; for His loving mercy endures forever. You are gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and of great kindness. When sinners turn to You, You revoke the sentence of death.
