Kind and Merciful!

Luke 6: 35 - 36 says, "But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend; hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful." Being kind and merciful to the unthankful and to the evil are surely God's will for our lives for the word says so. What I'm wondering about is, how many of us have reached this worthy place and to what degree?
