And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.— Micah 6:8
We think of how to act justly…and walk humbly with God. My attention was stuck today at the "Love mercy” part...notice it doesn’t say “show” mercy or only“practice” mercy; he says to fall in love with it!! It means I have to become mercy’s biggest fan. Without God’s mercy, I’d perish, He made a way for us to enjoy eternal happiness. It is with His Mercy that despite our sins, we can reach out with God’s perfect gospel...
When we love mercy we enjoy from God, we can show mercy to others. If we understand God's mercy we will be able to look at the ones who wronged us with a eagerness to forgive, thoughts of reconciliation than revenge. To understand His mercy we must see ourselves as an imperfect, fallible, prone-to-mess-up, sinner saved by mercy. so shall we think of His mercy towards us..Can we fall in love with it.? Let us try to understand the gift we’re given in God’s mercy…let it not stop there instead extend this same mercy towards others, beginning with our homes. Father God, I’d want to love mercy in all what I do..I need your strength, peace and compassion to be like Christ!
