Show some mercy!

James is so filled with good lessons. Here is another! Here is the verse:

James 2:13
13 For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.

Take time to read this three or four times and really soak it in. First of all if I recall correctly from the Word of God we are not to judge others. But it seems we do that often anyway. If we do judge others what does it say? We must show mercy. You may be thinking well so and so doesn't deserve mercy. Well my friend niether do we but our merciful God gives it to us anyway through His Son Jesus Christ. I know we want to say "but" and then give our reasoning. There are no reasons good enough...NONE! If we look at the sins we have commited against God and see day in and day out the mercy God showers upon us it should be easy for us to see the mercy we give to others is really not much in comparison to Him! The latter part of this verse shows us where victory is in showing mercy instead of judgement. So how is your mercy? We have received plenty let's make sure we are giving plenty!

Have a great day!
