"10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him." - Psalms 103:10-11

Many airplanes travel at incredible heights when flying to their destinations. If you have ever flown by plane, you know what it is like to be 32,000 feet in the air. To put in perspective God's mercy towards us, just imagine being that high above earth. That's how great his mercy is towards us. No doubt, there are days when we really mess up. But it is good to know that God's love is greater than all of our sin. Without his love, we would just be orphan children wandering through life. Psalms 103 says that, "Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him." We are not orphans because God is our Father and cares for his children. Do you love your children? Do you still love them when they break your heart? So does God. He is filled with compassion toward us at all times. And though we may do things that displease him, the fact still remains that he loves us in spite of all that. King David did many things in his life that displeased the LORD, but God forgave him time and time again. Abraham also, and all the saints. But they all serve as examples to show how great God's mercy is towards them that love him. It is higher than the heavens above the earth.
