Be Merciful

Season of Lent: Day 20

Greetings to all.  On this grateful Thursday, let us thank God for His relenting mercy.

The giving and receiving of Mercy were taught to us by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount. Let us thank God for His mercy and show it by being compassionate, kind, and not holding onto bitterness. As members of God's Kingdom, we can do this at work, at home, at school, and wherever we go.  When we show mercy to others, we ensure we may also receive mercy.

Matthew 5:7 (KJV 1900)

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Lesson: Mercy comes from God, and we are most like Him when we are merciful. The merciful receive mercy from God. We receive it when we live as merciful servants of the Merciful God.
