REMEMBER MERCY 4-14-23 VIDEO I WAS LOOKING AT JESUS 2
Sometimes we get so disturbed by what’s going on around us. The people who have made things difficult for us in our family, work, etc. The last thing we feel like being is merciful. But God is full of mercy and shows kindness without judgment. Mercy is a compassion or forgiveness or judgment towards someone even though it is within our power to be mean to them. Always be encouraging. Give an opportunity for mercy to move upon all. For if you extend mercy the others, in your time of need you will reap mercy.
