Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
-- Matthew 5 verse 7     (Kings James Bible)


    Putting an end to something unpleasant or distressing
    by showing a merciful spirit instead of by vengeful
    means, is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign of
    being a blessed person.  To have a heart moved by
    compassion for a peaceful resolution of a matter is
    exactly what the Spirit of the Lord advocates.  Praise
    God for having such a heart that flows with life and
    blessings.  

    Showing mercy when it is in our power to do otherwise,
    is to look beyond today considering tomorrow is another
    day.  For God is an excellent record keeper, and it’s just
    a matter of time when we too come short and end up on
    the opposite side, undeserving and in need of mercy
    and grace from Him.  


May His Word illuminate your way today.

    heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before
    you.
