Did you know that you can’t exaggerate God? Think about that for a minute – you can embellish the size of the fish you caught last week, your bowling average, your position at work, how much money you make and a number of other things but NOT God. The all-powerful, all-knowing, all-present Creator of the universe is far bigger than we can even imagine but we can turn to scripture to gain understanding of our God.
So, grab your Bible…
Blessed Are The Merciful
Matthew 5:7
“Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy”, Jesus said. Mercy is described as refraining from inflicting harm or punishment under provocation, the disposition to exercise compassion or forgiveness, the compassionate treatment of the unfortunate or helpless, and showing compassion or kindness generally in dealing with others.
Those who practice these conditions of mercy toward others can expect to be recipients of the same blessings in their lives, as promised in the scripture quoted above.
