Everyone at one time or another desires mercy.  Before we go to far, it needs to be defined.  I have discovered in the modern world, words now have multiple meanings. Mercy means the ability to get right inside the other person’s skin until we can see things with his eyes, think things with his mind, and feel things with his feelings.

 

Therefore, when Jesus said,  ‘Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy,” he is saying that those who truly understand the other person and forgives without recourse knows mercy.  That is how God will treat them.  

 

Try it today.  Show mercy.   Give grace.  Show love.
