Just as a servant seeks mercy for his master or maidservant seeks mercy from her mistress, we seek mercy from our God. We are His servants and our salvation is not seeking to switch places, but to receive mercy. Our hope is not in finding a new master or successfully overtaking our current one, but in receiving undeserved favor from His hands. Mercy is not a reward, it is unearned. Our hope is not found in obtaining His favor by performing our tasks. It is in being given goodness we could not earn and being forgiven for badness we could not pay back. Mercy is our hope. God have mercy on us sinners.
