A Journey to Mercifulness

Sad to say that some people will live their whole lives without experiencing God’s mercy. This happens when we believe in our own goodness. We don’t look so bad when we compare ourselves to others who are “less good” than we are.

God’s mercies are new every morning. Every morning it can heal us, free us and forgive us.

“Your life’s mission should have length, depth, and height.

Length: something you can become better at during your lifetime

Depth: by touching the lives of others

Height: by satisfying your soul’s longing for a better world.” - Martin Luther King

This type of life indicates a journey of growth with God – also in mercy.

Exercise:

Write down a few times in your life where you have felt God’s mercy and thank Him for it.

Prayer:

“Jesus, give me the grace to show mercy to my family and friends.”
