Isaiah 63:7-10

I will mention the lovingkindnesses of the LORD, and the praises of the LORD, according to all that the LORD hath bestowed on us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel, which he hath bestowed on them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his lovingkindnesses.

For he said, Surely they are my people, children that will not lie: so he was their Saviour. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bare them, and carried them all the days of old.

But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them.


What a wonderful thing to have such a loving and merciful Savior who cares so much about us, but what a sobering thought as well that even after being saved in such a way we can still end up making Him our enemy if we're not careful to keep our rebellious hearts in check!
 
God blesses us with His Mercy, however should we trample on it, and abuse His love for us, we will vex Him and remove ourselves from Him...
