Mercy
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance incorruptible and undefiled and that does not fade away, reserved in heaven for you. 1 Peter 1:3-4
Who have you given mercy to this week? An act of kindness, compassion or favor to anyone? Think hard and see if this mercy you practiced was for someone you love dearly or someone you just love because Christ asked you to. It is sometimes hard for most of us to show mercy to someone we know intimately, but it is more difficult to show mercy to those you don't really know. God knows us intimately and knows our hearts, and yet He still shows us mercy on a daily basis. If God can show you mercy when he knows us so well, don't you think it should be easier to show someone mercy when you don't know them? Show mercy and see what happens.
Have a great weekend.
