“God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy” (Matthew 5:7 NLT).
In a previous vignette on Mercy, we talked about seven facets of mercy. You might consider some personal application questions for each of the aspects. Here'a a challenge to commit an act of premeditated mercy in each of these categories this week. Wait. Isn’t there a tension between mercy and personal responsibility? Yes, there is. But if you're going to err, you might consider erring on the side of being too gracious, too merciful, and too forgiving. I’d rather go overboard on mercy—just look at what Jesus did on the cross. So, how will you be merciful?
