Mercy sweetens all God’s other attributes. God’s holiness without mercy, and his justice without mercy, would be terrible.
— Thomas Watson (1620-1686)
Mercy
Keep Your Heart
Keep your heart as you would keep a Garden. Your heart is a garden (Song of Solomon 4:12); weed all sin out of your heart. Among the flowers of the heart, weeds will be growing—the weeds of pride, malice, and covetousness: these grow without planting and cultivating. Therefore be weeding your heart daily by prayer, examination, and repentance.
— Thomas Watson
Mercy
A Christian should keep two books always by him, one in which to write his sins, that he may be made humble; the other in which to write his mercies, that he may be kept thankful.
— Thomas Watson
Meditation
A Christian without meditation is like a soldier without weapons, or a workman without tools.
— Thomas Watson
God’s Mercy
God is ever giving to His children, yet hath not the less. His riches are imparted, not impaired.
— Thomas Watson
