receive mercy and find grace

i received this from a precious friend today in response to a few shared prayer requests:

"you are loved very much...unconditionally...no matter what you think or do...it's been done, God has forgiven you and given you a new life in Him."

thank you for this, dear friend.  though this was not necessarily linked to my prayer requests, i sincerely needed this more than anything.

"let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." {hebrews 4:16}
