give thanks, day 17

Today I am thankful for mercy. Mercy is "not getting what you deserve." God gives us mercy when we are loved instead of condemned. Mercy is a cousin of grace and is rooted in God's love.

We receive mercy from God, and we are asked to give it to others. To forgive, to release, to embrace those whom we otherwise might want to spank. To hurt back is human, to offer mercy is divine.

Mercy. Good to get. Good to give. Try a little bit today.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
