Mercy.

 How badly do we need mercy?

 Dictionary definitions of mercy include “refraining from inflicting punishment or pain on an offender or enemy who is in one’s power” and “a blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion.”

How about taking the next seven days just to ponder God’s mercy and praise him for it? Read each of the following texts. Pause. Remember the places his mercy has reached in and healed. When the scripture includes a person, put yourself in that person’s place, adding the personal details of your life.
