I've been hearing a little word over and over again in my head for a while. That word is mercy. I've read verses and I have an idea of what it means, but I just felt like I needed to learn more about mercy. I've put it off. I've thought I'll look up the definition and then I forget. I just posted about hope. I quickly looked up a couple of verses on hope and I felt the need again to learn more about mercy. I quicly googled it. I read just one sentence that stood out to me...because we have mercy we have hope. I really feel like God is leading me to be more merciful in my life. To be kind and loving even to those who I don't think deserve it. That has always been a struggle for me. I have no problem going out of my way for the underdog or my closest friends, but if you are annoying me or I think you are just 'stupid' then watch out. I don't have mercy. I long for perfection. In myself...in my students...friends...family...people I date. Thoe only place I'm going to fine it though is in God. Luckily he has mercy for me and loves me anyway. I just need to try doing that in my life with everyone not those that I've chosen to be merciful to. What if God chose who he showed mercy to?
