God’s purpose for each of us is that we should open and be healed from our sense of separation and isolation from God and ourselves and each other! We are told in Jesus’ words in Matthew 5 that compassion for human frailties (our own and others’) is the way to be healed!!! Receiving mercy from God, we become aware that we are all children of the same Maker, and we can freely extend mercy again and again. Who really am I to refrain from giving mercy when all that I have is grace and gift? “Blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy” is another way of saying, “Blessed are the merciful, because they really get it!”
Blessed Are the Merciful
