Mercy-- "kindness and forgiveness, especially when given to a person who doesn't deserve it"
We all know those people. It almost doesn't matter what they do, but they seem to find someway to irrate every person in the room. It makes you wonder if they didn't have sort of spirtual gift for it.
Every person, as one time or another, has met someone who has caused them to wonder, "How can I love this person?"
Sometimes it's the lady at the cash register who decides that, because they hate there job, they will share there bad attitude with everyone who is fortunite (or unfortunite) enough to visit there check out that day.
Or it is the old guy driving slow in the fast lane.
Or maybe it's the workers in the restraunt who have returned your food wrong three times.
We all know people who have hurt us.
Who have broken our hearts.
And who we haven't been able to forgive.
These are not only times that test our patience but cause too flex our mercy muscles.
We are easy to forget the patience and mercy God has shown to us when we are faced with trying situations. (myself included)
We talk about this in multiple parts. Today we will look alittle at what Paul says about mercy.
