Be
merciful. Why? Not only has GOD been merciful to me in the
past but I’m going to need it in the
future. I don’t expect to be perfect
from now until the time that I die, so I’m going to need more mercy.
Only
those who give it, get it. Those who give mercy, get mercy. Those who don’t give mercy, don’t get mercy
back.
You
say, “But you don’t know how much this person hurt me! And they continue to hurt me! I just can’t forgive them."
Then I
hope you never sin. Forgiveness and
mercy is a two-way street. When you refuse to forgive others and refuse to show
mercy to others, you’re burning the very grid you have to walk across to get to
heaven. The Bible says that those who
show mercy receive mercy. Those who don’t,
do not.
I need
to be merciful, because I’m going to need it again in the future. I'm going to make mistakes.
Don’t
burn your bridges. Be very careful about demanding justice, because GOD just
might give it to you. If we all got what
we deserved, none of us would be here.
GOD does not give us what we deserve; HE gives us what we need. And that’s mercy. And mercy is giving to others, not what they
deserve when they’ve fallen, not what they deserve when they’ve hurt us, but
giving them what they need.
Just a
thought from the front porch…

Yes, giving something to others, we will get something in return like joy or other good things. The best is to give happily without thinking of rewards but the rewards will come.
So very true!
