Matthew 9:13
"Go and learn the meaning of the words, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' I did not come to call the righteous but sinners.""
What is Jesus telling us? We can go thru life being pious and honoring God and completely miss the point. How do you treat others, especially those that can be difficult.
You are the body of Christ and how you respond lets others see His mercy or something else. Mercy given when it isn't deserved maybe just the thing that they need to see Jesus.
Dear Heavenly Father, you showed us the way while with us, may we never forget what we are called to do. I ask for the strength to be merciful when my mind is wanting to do something else. May I see what you see in those times. I ask this in Jesus name, Amen.
