Todays gift is Mercy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mercy is when God’s love meets us and sets us free from our sin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We didn\u2019t deserve the blood of Jesus but God gave His Son as the ultimate sacrifice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we have experienced the Mercy of God, forgiveness and love we didn\u2019t deserve it is easy to show Mercy to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are people who will come in our life and they push all the buttons. They are takers and not givers. They try to cause division and strife. These are the ones who need our Mercy the most.
We have to look at them through the eyes of Jesus.
That\u2019s super hard especially when we have been hurt.
I know it\u2019s hard when we feel that we are right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think about Jesus dying and loving you when you reject Him over and over. Yet every time He shows you such Mercy and loves and forgives you. We deserve death but He gives us life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn to love people like Jesus. Give up your right to be right. Be a peace maker. Ask yourself if the argument has eternal value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Love the unloveable. Love the entitled. Love the broken. Love the outcast. Love the lost and when you do you are being the Hands and Feet of Jesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ask those whom you have not shown Mercy for forgiveness. Let go of your pride and be the person God created you to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ephesians 2:4-5 \u2013 \u201cBut God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great
love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ \u2014 by grace you have been saved.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Titus 3:5 \u2013 \u201cHe saved us, not because of deeds done by us in righteousness, but in virtue of his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal in the Holy Spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 25:10 \u2013 \u201cAll the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth toward those who honor his covenant and decrees.\u201d
Proverbs 28:13 \u2013 \u201cNo one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.\u201d
Isaiah 30:18 \u2013 \u201cTherefore the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show mercy to you. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
