Learn to Show Mercy
We need to be able to show mercy to others and not be legalistic, rigid, and hard to please.
The Spirit of Jesus is patient, longsuffering, forbearing, and slow to anger. When we ask Him to fill us with the inner strength of the Holy Spirit, we have His Spirit in us, and with His help, we can learn to behave the way He would in relationships.
But you are not living the life of the flesh, you living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [ directs and controls you]...
--- Romans 8:9
My own reflection on this Thought:
* Learn to forgive others. That's the message of today's TOTD.
I know it's hard. I myself is struggling so hard to do this. By only imagining that you need to face the person that you dislike every day has made you feel uncomfortable.
But, in order to become a person who's full of mercy, we need to be given those hard tasks, facing hard-to-handle people everyday.
We're struggling hard. All of us. But I'm sure, God's grace would enable us to do so. (-fon-)
