Believers are surrounded by mercy. When we look back we can say, "Surely goodness and mercy have followed me all the days of my life." (Psalm 3:6)
When we look ahead we remember the words of Jude 21. "Looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."
As we begin each day, we can say, "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness." (Lamentations 3:2-23)
When a Christian shows mercy he is set free from grudges that drain the strength and unsettles the mind. It's thrilling to share God's mercy--not judging people, but seeing them through the merciful eyes of Christ.
