A Reflection On Mercy

When I want to show compassion

Those who have regard for the weak always have God’s sympathetic ear. In His mercy, God cares for our needs regardless of our level of compassion. But He cares for them more readily, more powerfully, and more demonstrably if we have demonstrated His nature toward others. Do we withhold grace? Then grace will be hard to find. Or are we examples of mercy? If so, we will have mercy in abundance.

Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The LORD rescues them when they are in trouble.

Psalm 41:1
