THE DAILY BLUEPRINT - 4.20.09

Have Mercy!

LUKE 16:36
Be you therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

In this life you must choose the side in which you follow - there is no middle ground - we either worship JESUS or we don't - we either claim Him as Savior or we don't - we cannot be fence riders when it comes to the gospel. If we are following JESUS then we should begin to act and look like Him! If we have His Spirit inside of us - our lives should be changing! We are either children of God or of the devil - the world around us will call this crazy - but just because the world finds it odd -does not make it untrue - when we belong to the Father -we should be like Him - He is full of mercy and slow to anger - are we? Many times when someone hurts us - we want them to get it back ten fold - human nature always wants revenge - but God has said in HIS Word that it's His to defend - many times we get our hands all in the way and we make it harder then it has to be - since God is full of mercy - His people should be too - we should be the most forgiving of all people - we should not hold anything over anyone - we must be willing to go the extra mile and forgive them - sure it's not easy - and true our human side will always want to see those who hurt us suffer but the Spirit that guides us calls us to have mercy - is there someone you know right now that needs to be shown mercy - God may be calling you to be the one to show them His mercy - remember its never about us - always about Him!
We must have mercy on others - they need it and we have it!
Seeking the mercy of God, Daniel<><

BUILDING MOMENT: If we could just see how much mercy God has given us - we would give others a break!

Because we have CHRIST - we are able to forgive others!
