No. 5 Be Merciful

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Matthew 5:6; Luke 6:36

‘Lord, have mercy on me, who sins.’

I ask You to help me to be like You, and forgive me when I fail.

You ask me to do the same for others.

Help those in trouble; be sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate.

No blame game, no lusty fault-finders playing hide and seek.

To be Christ-like, to be God-like is to overlook offenses, and to pity the ignorant sinner.

To be merciful is to give the other person relief instead of criticsm.

To be Christ-like is better than being right.
