be merciful

be merciful

These verses spoke to me this morning.

I had Luke six open next to my waffles and coffee.

I am going to be thinking about these verses all day long and longer than that.

Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom.

For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.

I have a Father who is merciful.

That is true and it is an understatement. How merciful has God been to me?

Now God’s Son tells me to be merciful in that same way.
