Mercy Changes Everything // Blessed part 5

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. This beatitude teaches us that mercy is the currency of God's kingdom - compassion and forgiveness toward others, especially when undeserved. True mercy meets people in their mess and helps them toward restoration. As recipients of God's lavish mercy that erased our spiritual debt, we are called to extend that same mercy to others. When we choose mercy, we reflect God's heart, disarm bitterness, and break cycles of revenge. The forgiven must become forgivers, releasing the poison of bitterness from our hearts.
