God is Merciful

“I will sing of the mercies [steadfast love] of the LORD forever" (Psalm 89:1).

Dear Praying Friends:

If you asked me what aspect of God’s character I value most, I would immediately reply, “His mercy.” That is why I have titled my autobiography Mercy All the Way. It is still a work in progress, but you can find a draft of the first part of it (up to 1988) at  www.reachingchineseworldwide.org/mercy-all-the-way.

The story of my life, up to the present, is one of God’s repeated forgiveness of my sins, as he welcomes me back into sweet communion with himself and often even turns my rebellion and folly into platforms of his grace. Truly, his mercies are new every morning and his faithfulness to us is very great!

God gave me two excellent conversations with friends in Taiwan, and Dori and I talked with a couple there this morning. He teaches Intercultural Studies (aka Missions) at the seminary where I served on the faculty 1980-1987. I have another call Thursday and hope to schedule more with friends there.

On Tuesday I resumed writing notes on 1 Timothy 4, and on Wednesday I returned to the story on Amy Wilkinson for the BDCC. I can only write about an hour a day, but a little bit is better than nothing.

“Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy [steadfast love] and truth [faithfulness] go before Your face” (Psalm 89:14).

Yours in his never-ending goodness,
Wright
