Merciful

Quick question: Have you ever been ungrateful? Have you ever needed a loan? Have you ever been wrongly judged? Have you ever crossed the line or done something really bad? That was more than one question, wasn’t it? But they all point to topics that Jesus addressed prior to His statement in Luke 6:36, “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.” That’s something to think about, isn’t it? Our Heavenly Father is merciful to us. Now He says that we’re to show mercy to others. That’s a good reminder for me. Is it for you? Why not record a list of ways God has shown mercy to you, then thank Him for each one.

Heavenly Father, thank You for the MERCY You show us every day. Fill us with Your Spirit of mercy toward others.

“Be merciful, just as your Father is MERCIFUL,”  Luke 6:36.

“Be merciful, just as your Father is MERCIFUL.”

Lord, we praise You for being MERCIFUL. Help us reflect Your mercy to others.
