God promises us the
gift of His mercy as we show mercy to others. Mercy is giving others the
benefit of the doubt, of believing the best in others, of showing compassion
and kindness, often giving to others when we believe they really don’t deserve
it.
God has shown us
His great mercy. We fail again and again, but His mercy never ends. It is new
every morning. Great is His faithfulness.
Through
the Lord’s mercies, we are not consumed, because His compassions fail not. They
are new every morning. Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23
The world today
appears to revolve around hate and anger, eager to dredge up the faults of
others and show them to the world. Let’s walk in kindness, showing mercy,
encouraging others, believing the best. And blessed are we.
Blessed
are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7
Jesus,
Give us mercy each day. Thank You for Your perpetual forgiveness.
Give us new mercies each day. Help us to see others with that same mercy
and compassion.
Amen
