God is merciful. If he wasn't, most of us would be in big trouble!
The Greek translation of mercy means " an outward manifestation of pity; it assumes need on the part of him who receives it, and the resources adequate to meet the need of the part of him who shows t."
If we have been wronged, we show mercy. If we give or forgive despite our grievances, we exhibit mercy. And if we understand those who are misunderstood, we are merciful.
Psalm 23 says that teamed with goodness, mercy shall follow believers all the days of their lives.
Thank you Lord for giving us better than we deserve.
