Mercy

In Ephesians 2:4,5 it says, "But God who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, by grace ye are saved." Praise God for His mercy toward us all. God is so merciful that He would that all were saved. Are we as merciful? Do we want all to be saved or just our family and the ones we like? In Matthew 5 Jesus was speaking and said in verse 7, "Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy." I personally want more mercy flowing through me to others. Humans everywhere need mercy, love, and forgiveness. Just as a garden hose is used to water lawns and gardens, so should we water those around us. If we connect the hose to the faucet and turn on the water we are putting water where it will bring life. If we are connected to the Lord, He will turn us on to water the world with mercy, love, and forgiveness.
