We won't cooperate with God if we do not understand that everything He does in our lives as His children is as a result of His mercy towards us. Satan enjoys making God look like a bad person in our eyes. But God is not a bad person at all. He is so good! Revelations of the Mercy of God is what begins true transformation in our souls. Revelations of the mercies of God brings real change into our lives because it sinks us into depths of humility that our souls could otherwise never know. Real salvation occurs when we are saved from our prideful selves into the glorious freedom of humble selves as mere children of God!
