"Yet a time is coming
and has now come when the true worshipers will worship
the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the
kind of worshipers the Father seeks." - John 4:23

My Heavenly Daddy is healing
me from the inside out.

Transparency is Real.
Many times painful.

Daddy let me be secure in You only!

HAVE MERCY


"Mercy means knowing, eyes wide open, the current situation and choosing to have the heart of Christ toward that person in their state. We choose to see them beneath the surface and take into account that hurt people will hurt people." - Beth Moore

The above is a very good principal to keep in mind. I think as broken people, living in a broken world, we are very susceptible to hurting one another. Sure as we heal, are tendencies grow less. But as humans, we cannot escape our sinful nature and are always vulnerable. Whether intentional or not.

  2. What an inspiring quote; when we are filled with His grace, it is so much easier to remove the scales of resentment and anger from our eyes, and allow us to see and treat others as God does!

    Blessings sweet lady!

  3. All of us (me included) need to learn to bestow mercy to others, especially those who are hurting.

    This was a good quote.


    Blessings!

  4. Amen JBR! Jesus told me I judge others because I felt judged and hurt! Even yesterday I was talking to Him about people and in my spirit He said, "I will not listen to your gossip!"
    We have to realize we all do things because we are hurting! But also remember to love each other deeply!
    Blessings JBR!

  6. Great quote, Grace. When we understand that everyone is wounded it's a lot easier to be merciful.

  7. Mercy is indeed something we should all strive for. It's true that those who are broken are more likely to strike out at others too. Mercy is a healing power.

  8. So true! We wound because we are wounded ourselves. Such a powerful thing to keep in mind.
