The goodness and mercy mankind cannot give

“Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.” Goodness and mercy and God’s unfailing love follows us all the days of our lives. We go forward in life most of the time not realizing the Lord has gotten us out of many difficulties without our understanding. He’s behind the scenes making many a crooked place straight for us. It is because of His goodness and mercy we have redemption from our doomed fate which was Jesus saving us from an eternal death of punishment. His goodness and mercy helps us here and now but it keeps working after we pass on to the next life. His goodness, mercy, and unfailing love is following us until death, and beyond. Our lives don’t technically end after death. Our spirits never die and we still have all our memories. For those who will be spending eternity in hell, part of their punishment is remembering all the times the Lord sent witnesses to them to get them to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, but they turned Him down. So after death there’s no goodness and mercy for them. The Lord’s goodness and mercy here and now will help God’s children have an abundant, and successful life on earth today. But it reaches those still not christians giving them the opportunity for eternal life with God.
