The Quality of Mercy

Mercy is a term used to describe the leniency or compassion shown by one person to another or a request from one person to another to be shown such leniency or compassion. One of the basic virtues of chivalry and Christian ethics, it is also related to concepts of justice and morality in behavior between people. Mercy is the act of not administering justice when that justice is punitive. Because of our sinfulness we deserve death and eternal separation from God but God provided atonement for sin and through it shows us mercy. That is, He does not deliver to the Christian the natural consequence of his sin which is damnation. That is why Jesus became sin on our behalf and bore the punishment due to us. It was to deliver us from damnation.
A man once said in his speech-
Cowards are cruel, but the brave
Love mercy, and delight to save. Sweet mercy is nobility's true badge.
I really wonder if all this appeals to todays generation. people have surely forgot how to embrace each other without ego and prejiduce and forgive ur enemy or someone who has hurt you. forgiving is divine.
how many times do you feel like picking up the phone and telling ur ex or best friend for some mistake the opposite party has commited that you forgive him/ her..?
Thne what stops you from doing so,....lets ur ego die down today....embrace humanity. pick up the phone and forgive. raise the bar for yourself and transform.

A sentinel angel sitting high in glory Heard this shrill wail ring out from Purgatory: "Have mercy, mighty angel, hear my story!"
T oday i forgive someone who has hurt me deeply someone who i couldnt forgive in t he past 7 years.....i lie down and forgive myself first for my ego, prejiduce, arrogance and hatred. to my dear enemy...i free you from the hasted wounds of my pride.
oh lord i lay down before you and forgive and also ask for forgiveness...
"Open thy gate of mercy, gracious God, My soul flies through these wounds to seek out thee"
god is kind and judgemntal. he always has loved us. he graces with the mellow yesh upon me and takes me in his arms-
i have proposed my wil.....he has disposed it.
i learnt a lesson today from life....
God tolerates even our stammering, and pardons our ignorance whenever something inadvertently escapes us - as, indeed, without this mercy there would be no freedom to pray.
The mercy that was quick in me but late. but i realized....to forgive.
god tells me today- o my dear child-
Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides. i love you h my dear child.
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
let me address all of you, high and low, rich and poor, one with another, to accept of mercy and grace while it is offered to you; Now is the accepted time, now is the day of salvation; and will you not accept it, now it is offered unto you? Mercy stood in the cloud, with eye that wept Essential love.
forgive me today.....asi forgive others pass on the quintessential gift of mercy my beloved.
