Blessed
are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Matthew 5:7
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, of feeling another’s sorrow, 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.
Jesus,
Give us Your unending mercy each day. Thank You for Your
perpetual forgiveness. Give us the ability to show mercy to others. Help us to
see others with the same mercy and compassion You have shown us.
Amen
