Read psalms 103:10,11  This psalm is full of the benefits that God gives to us as his children.  God's mercy is here in verse 10.  You may remember that mercy is God not giving us something that we do deserve, like punishment.  God gives us forgiveness instead.  David said that God did not deal with us after our sins, but He forgives us and gives us His grace.  Sometimes we don't understand why God is so good to us.  Verse 11 tells us that God is good because He is so much wiser than we are.  He is tremendously smarter than we are.  Verse 11 says that as high as the heavens are above the earth, so much greater is God's mercy to us.  Wow!  God is really way smarter than we are.  But the best part is that God's mercy is so much more than our human mercy and forgiveness!  Verse 11 says that as high as the heavens are above the earth, God's mercy is that great to us!  He is so forgiving and so merciful!  God's forgiveness is amazing.
