mercy

“Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
but delight to show mercy.
You will again have compassion on us;
you will tread our sins underfoot
and hurl our iniquities into the depths of the sea."
Micah 7:18-19 (NIV)

Right now I can’t imagine a more perfectly poetic description of God’s mercy. I need poetry like that.
