Undeserved Mercy

Mercy: something that gives evidence of divine favor; blessing: -The Dictionary. It is God's divine favor that He has mercy for us so we can have mercy for people. It is a blessing we are allowed to have mercy from God & we are given the opportunity to show mercy to others. Without mercy...this world would be a wretched place indeed. Also in the dictionary it states mercy is compassion shown to an offender. When Jesus was being nailed to the cross mercy was shown. Not from the Roman soldiers but from Jesus himself, the one who was tortured to a horrible degree & in unimaginable pain, yet he had mercy on them, by forgiving them & pleading to the Father for them (Luke 23:34). What a beautiful thought. Who among us could do that? Have mercy on the person who was murdering you? This is a prime example of God's unimaginable love for us. It shows He has mercy on us, the ones undeserving of it (the offenders). How beautiful & what an example for us to follow. If Jesus Christ could have mercy on the ones nailing Him to the cross how can we not have mercy on others?

No matter what your situation is, what you are struggling with, if you believe your problems to be big whereas they're actually small, it does not matter. God requires that you first follow Him. First seek His counsel before you speak and act. No I don't mean to say what is going on in your life does not matter. What I am saying is when what is in your life is put in foreground and He recedes into the background; when your thoughts turn not first to Christ, that is when they do not matter. They can't matter because you are not letting Him be a part of them. God is the central force in our life. When that stops being the case nothing else matters. Our lives go through seasons, and sometimes we f...
