Mercy

The world could use a little—actually, a LOT—more mercy. God is abundant in mercy but we are clearly lacking it. God looks at each of us and forgives in mercy. We look at each other and want to do the opposite. That’s no wonder because the world is sorely lacking in God.

We are clearly lost in a world that is becoming more estranged from God and, in the process, mercy is becoming harder to find. Fights, shootings, wars, and lots of terrible things fill the news waves. And the farther we get from God the worse the headlines become.

Change only happens one person at a time. It starts with me and you. I intend to move even closer to God this Christmas season in a renewed to show those around me more forgiveness and, in the process, more mercy. My start is just more kindness!

Turning to God is the necessary first step because without God there is a void. With God, it starts with a smile, helping someone in need, and simply smiling. It’s not rocket science. It’s just God.

Let’s all try to spread a little joy, forgiveness, and mercy. Maybe, just maybe, we can light a fuse and start change.

ENJOY the rest of the week—in mercy!
