They will be shown mercy!

I was about to sleep when suddenly a loved one of mine texted me. They said they didn’t know what to do except pray.

I wanted to just go to bed. Suddenly, the word Mercy came deep inside my Spirit. I was led to write a note on Mercy.

Looking at the image above, one person offered an umbrella to a stranger, knowing it was raining. The person didn’t walked away. But instead, she acknowledged the rain—the reality—and extended kindness. That’s what mercy looks like.

I am not sure about you guys out there. But I am someone here today needing someone to show me and my family some form of umbrella. Some form of shield.Some form of protection.

”Lord, I am amazed at how you show us Mercy.”Have you faced a situation with the same issue persisting for years? You probably find yourself not knowing what else to do about it.

Things around us may not favor us, and we feel helpless. I was telling the Lord today, ”Have mercy upon me and my family today.”

We have faced a certain challenge for many years. We try all kinds of ways to get out of the situation. Somehow or another, we are dragged into the same mess again and again. These are wounds only God sees.

Tried looking for help outside, but we get ridiculed and mocked, and silently, we have to just lead our lives. Behind my silent smiles are so many buried tears and fears that have been built up over the years. It was silent blocks of trauma that only the Lord can heal.

I try my best not to focus on the situations at home. I focus on what I can do and surrender my whole life unto the Lord. When I see the mess I am going through, I don’t know what else to do. I just pray and let the Lord lead.

I stop fixing. I stop analyzing. I stop judging. I surrender and say:

“Lord, have mercy on me and my family.”

Matthew 5:7 “Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.”

James 2:13b “Mercy triumphs over judgment”

As humans, we tend to easily judge situations. We easily give out our logical solutions to settle certain issues in life.I believe I have tried many times to judge the whole situation I am going through. I give out logical, immediate solutions. I thought it would solve the problem, but instead it grew bigger and bigger.

Today, I decided to let go and surrender the whole matter unto the Lord. But one thing I ask the Lord is for mercy for my whole situation. A mistake was made. Repeatedly done, and hence I asked the Lord for His mercy. I believe God’s mercy is bigger than any mistake that we have made today.

Lamentations 3 : 22-23 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Prayer: ”Abba, please take care of us. Forgive us as a family. I pray the blood of Jesus covers us as a family. Be the LORD of our life. Thank you for showing us mercy.Amen ”-R.JOHN
