In a world quick to judge and slow to forgive, mercy is a rare but powerful gift. True mercy goes beyond words—it requires action, understanding, and a heart that reflects God's love. Compassion means stepping into someone else’s shoes, seeing their struggles, and responding with kindness instead of criticism. When we extend mercy, we open the door to receive it in return. Instead of having a critical spirit, let’s choose to walk in grace, treating others as we would want to be treated.
