3120. 'Who has not abandoned His mercy' means a perception of the influx of love. This is clear from the meaning of 'mercy' as love, dealt with in 1735, 3063, 3073. The reason 'has not abandoned His mercy' is a perception of the influx of love is that these are words expressing acknowledgement and confession, and all acknowledgement and confession are the result of a perception of influx.
