Be Merciful

 

Luke 6: 36-38

³⁶ Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Judging Others

³⁷ “Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. ³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

See how the sun fills the sky with light; so does mercy fill the hearts of those to whom we are merciful, as well as our own.  Who would not prefer this light to darkness?  Yet we persist in judging, ignoring or not forgiving those who have harmed us. Let us spend time with these three verses and let them sink in, touch and move our hearts to be so full of mercy and forgiveness that indeed, they will overflow into the hearts of others with blinding light. Dear God, may I be as merciful as you!
