I heard this analogy and really liked it.
During Napoleon's reign, a man had done horrible things and was sentenced to death. The man's mother came to Napoleon and begged for mercy for her son. He refused her request. Again she came, and again he refuse. A third time she came. Finally, Napoleon angrily told her, "Your son does not deserve mercy!" To which the mother tearfully replied, "Then it wouldn't be mercy." Napoleon granted her request.
How often we come before God asking for His mercy, and satan (the accuser of the brethren) tells us we don't deserve mercy?! So, next time say, "Then it wouldn't be mercy!" Praise God for His mercy!!!
Lamentations 3:22 It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Lamentations 3:23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.
