SHOW MERCY
THE ONLY WAY TO RECEIVE MERCY
The man that finds it difficult to show
mercy to his fellow man is that man that thinks he is flawless. God will judge
and show us mercy in accordance to how we judge and show others mercy in life.
God was mean with Saul because Saul was a mean man, he doesn’t show mercy to
those that offended him (when Jonathan tasted honey against his father’s
command, Saul insisted on killing him except for the intervention of Israel 1
Sam. 14:43-45). God was merciful to David even when David has committed grave
sin because David was a merciful man (when Absalom the son of David rebelled
against David, David was still lenient with him and when Saul died after all
the wrong he has done to David, yet David wasn’t happy with the news etc).
Most of us so wished those who wronged us
death, we don’t want to forgive our offenders and we forget that just as we are
been offended regularly by others, we too are regularly offending others God.
It’s to the merciful that God shows mercy. Those
that declare their fellow men that have offended them as an enemy has branded
his or herself an enemy of God.
Each day that we pray for the mercy of God,
God also want use to receive the grace to keep forgiving our offenders.
‘And forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us’. Matt. 6:12
God forgives us just as we forgive, and
retains our sins just as we retain the sins of those who offended us. You’ll
surely know when God is holding a sin against us by checking yourself if you
are holding someone’s offence against the person. The only way to receive mercy
from God is to show mercy to your offenders.
God bless you
