Contemplating mercy
Mercy is shown to those who mercy shows Matt 5:7
Judging and condemning is so easy,
to show mercy is much harder
Evil deeds abound today,
criminals are much smarter.
Vengeance feels really good,
it is often said.
But...
How good can it feel,
when it's your mercy that's dead?
Showing mercy to others feels good
even if we feel they don't deserve it
We know we're doing what is right
letting resentment go is worth it.
Because...
In the end it's resentment
that kills you... eventually
So why not try this divine quality
and live your life mercifully.
