Year 8-Day 287: Today, I am grateful for the merciful wounded.
I hate it when I mess up. I really hate it. I go over what I could have done differently and how I would make different choices the next time. Rehashing the mistake doesn't really fix the anything. Mercy is the game changer.
"Relationships don't thrive because the guilty are punished, but because the wounded are merciful." -Max Lucado
When another human expresses mercy toward us, it is really humbling. We all make mistakes. Our mistakes should not define us, but they should refine us. We have to be honest with ourselves and those around us.
Mercy is lifechanging.
"For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment." -James 2:13
The examples Jesus gave us regarding relationships were full of mercy.
Today, I am grateful for the merciful wounded.
