The mercy preceding every true move of God is a mercy that leaves the land desolate. It is a mercy that causes despair. Despair of any hope of finding the "will" and the "do" in me, in my flesh... "Simon, Simon, Satan has desired to sift you as wheat but I have prayed for you." Luke 22:31
This quote from my friend Dane,
"It is not us and them, it is all of us and HIM."
That is the priestly heart of intercession that is "with" the people, that goes down into the waters of baptism to emphasize "I am with you." Priestly identification is what Reggie Kelly calls it. Oh God give us true mercy and compassion, make us a people that reflect your heart.
