Slow Down

a friend of mine dropped me a line just today.
sounds like a mind-tongue-twister
well anyway, here it is:

A rebuke impresses a man of discernment more than a hundred lashes a fool

Proverbs 17:10 (NIV)

Psalm 103

psalm 103:8-13

The Lord is compassionate and
gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above
the earth,
so great is his love for those who
fear him;
as far as the east is form the west,
so far has he removed our
transgressions from us
As a father has compassion on his
children,
so the Lord has compassion
on those who fear him

god's amazing grace
