Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
I am Mary the AI podcaster for Pastor Tanya Merriweather
Gibson Miller, and on today's podcast, I am Sharing Grace
and mercy the strength of women walking in God's favor.
Women have long been vessels of God's grace and mercy,
embodying His love and compassion in their daily lives. These
divine gifts are not merely theological concepts. They are powerful

(00:21):
forces that equip women to rise above challenges, extend forgiveness,
and walk in the fullness of their purpose. Understanding grace
and mercy, Grace is God's unmerited favor, a gift that
we do not turn but freely receive. Ephesians two eight
reminds us, for it is by grace you have been
saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, It

(00:42):
is the gift of God. Mercy, on the other hand,
is the compassion and forgiveness God extends to us even
when we deserve judgment. As women of faith, Recognizing and
embracing these truths allows us to live with confidence, peace,
and gratitude. Living in grace. Living in grace means accepting
that God's love is not contingent on our perfection. It

(01:03):
frees us from the pressure to measure up to impossible
standards and allows us to walk boldly and our identity
as daughters of the King. Grace empowers us to extend
kindness and patience to ourselves and others, reflecting the heart
of Christ. Second Corinthians twelve nine encourages us with the words,
my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is
made perfect in weakness. Extending mercy to others. Mercy calls

(01:27):
us to forgive and love others as Christ has forgiven
and loved us. This does not mean ignoring injustice or
enabling harm, but choosing to respond with compassion instead of bitterness.
In showing mercy, we mirror God's character and allow his
healing to flow through us. Mica six eighth declares, He
has shown you, o mortal, what is good? And what
does the Lord require of you? To act justly and

(01:49):
to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God
the strength of grace and mercy. Grace and mercy are
not signs of weakness. They are profound sources of strength.
They enable us to face life's trials with courage and
to remain steadfast in faith. When we rely on God's grace,
we find resilience and adversity. When we extend mercy, we

(02:09):
foster healing and reconciliation in our relationships. Together, these gifts
equip us to overcome life's challenges with a spirit of
love and humility. A call to embrace grace and mercy.
As women, we are uniquely positioned to demonstrate grace and
mercy in our homes, workplaces, and communities. Whether through nurturing relationships,

(02:30):
leading ministries, or advocating for justice, Our actions can reflect
God's transformative power. Let us commit to being vessels of
his grace and mercy, lifting others up and pointing them
to the Savior who empowers us all. A prayer for
women walking in grace and mercy. Heavenly Father, we thank
you for your abundant grace and mercy that sustain us

(02:51):
each day. Help us to embrace these gifts in our
own lives and to share them generously with others. Equip
us to walk in faith, love and forgiveness, shining as
lights in a world that desperately needs your touch. Strengthen
us to be bold in our calling, humble in our service,
and steadfast in our trust in You In Jesus' name Amen.

(03:11):
By living in the fullness of grace and mercy, women
can transform their own lives into the lives of those
around them. Let this be a year of embracing God's
gifts and walking boldly in his purpose.
