John 8:1-11

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At dawn he appeared
   again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered
   around him, and he sat down to teach them. The teachers of
   the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in
   adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to
   Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of
   adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women.
   Now what do you say?" They were using this question as a
   trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus
   bent down and started to write on the ground with his
   finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened
   up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let
   him be the first to throw a stone at her." Again he stooped
   down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began
   to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only
   Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus
   straightened up and asked her, "Woman, where are they? Has
   no one condemned you?" "No one, sir," she said. "Then
   neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave
   your life of sin."

I feel like these verses speak for themselves on how awesome the mercy, grace, and forgiveness that God has and freely gives to us!  Also gives me something to think about when I get in a judgement or revenge seeking mood.  Thank You Lord for your ability to forgive and forget!  Thank You Lord for your ability to show mercy to someone so seemingly undeserving!  Thank You Lord for your ability to see past our failures and shortcomings!  Help us to focus more and more on growing closer to You and imitating Your awesomeness through our lives!
