His Mercies Never Come To An End
If I ask you to recite the 10 commandments of the Lord can you perfect it? And since you memorize it, did you abide it all?
The 10 Commandments
1. You shall have no others, gods, before Me.
2. You shall not make idols.
3. You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day to make it holy.
5. Honor your father and your mother.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet.
This is all the reminder of the Lord for us to avoid sinning yet we people forget and neglect about it.
I, myself, admit that I commit a lot of sins and whenever I do it I don't remember him. I ignore his word and pretend I don't know about it. I love to decide on my own and do the temporary things that make me happy and later remember him when I got into trouble.
"Promise I won't do it again just help me with this, I will do anything you want. I will obey you now Lord." This is my usual prayer whenever I badly needed him. In my heart I know he won't ignore me, that he will grant my prayer because he loves me and don't want to see me unhappy.
Then next day a miracle happened. My prayer was granted. I thank and praises him but after that I go back created a sin again and pretend that I don't tent to do it. I know I can't fool him because he can read our mind and heart.
I feel ashamed that's why I didn't come to him. I fix my problem alone. I do my own again and it get worst. He see me crying again and his heart was tearing. He can't take not to help me so he send other people to lift me back. I praise and thank that person without thinking it's him, the Lord that I ignore and forgot.
Why his heart is so big?! Why he still help even I'm hard-headed?! I don't deserve the kindness he gives because I'm a big sinner.

Then I hear a whisper in my ear and it entered my mind, "Because I love you" My heart gets ache but at the same time feel relieved. I can't say anything but cry because of his efforts. His unconditional love saved me from harm. His mercies never expires.
Had you feel this too? When you are at the hard time and ashamed to ask help thinking he might reject you because of a lot sins you made but still he would take an action for you to be safe. He stand with his promise that he will be with you always.
Have faith and listen to your heart. Let him guide you so you won't go to the temptations that will put you on harm.
Just believe in him and pray.
It's definitely too hard to execute. 10 commandments is the best way to explain our life purposes, why we're dwelling on surface. Btw there's an anime based on this commandments.. Named "Seven deadly sins"
