Mercy

Verse of the day - Matthew 5:7 (NRSV)

Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.

In chapter 2 of my third book, Jesus speaks to us about extending mercy to one another.

Excerpt from Come To The Cross

I am a merciful God.  I bestow mercy upon everyone and forgive all sins.  In return, have mercy upon those who offend you.  Do not hold it against them.  They know not what they do.  As I was dying on the cross for the sins of the world, I extended My mercy to those who nailed Me to the cross.  I asked My Father in Heaven to forgive them because they did not realize what they were doing.  By showing mercy to those who did Me harm, I left an example for My dear children to follow.  Being merciful to one another is hard to do, but with My help this can be achieved.  Rely not on your own power.  By your power alone, this cannot be achieved.
