The Mercy Seed

We are to be merciful just as our heavenly Father is merciful. That may take some work, but it’s doable with the Lord’s help. Like sowing a seed in the ground, the mercy seed can bring us relief down the road in life. The law of reciprocity is always in effect, what goes around comes around, just like karma. What’s nice is we can determine our harvest by how and what we plant. Seeds of negativity planted bring a harvest of negativity into our life. As we are merciful in our everyday life, We step into God’s favor for His mercy towards us. It’s like a forcefield of protection, especially from self inflicted trouble. Be merciful just as your Father in heaven is merciful. He first showed His mercy towards us by sending His only begotten Son to die for our wrong doings, our sin. If it were not for His mercy, we would not be here today. God is love and mercy is a symptom, or byproduct of love. The Lord wants His children to follow after His example, no different than we want our children to follow our training for them. Be merciful, that person you’re dealing with has issues bigger than yours right now. Try practicing letting offenses made against you slide, but not to the point of reckless insult to your integrity. Be merciful, it’s an excellent seed to plant now for the trouble on its way later.
