The Power of Mercy

Have you ever been down before? So down that you felt as if you had lost your purpose or direction in life? Maybe you lost a loved one? Someone hurt you badly? Or the circumstances in your life were just more than you felt like you could deal with?

There are so many different ways that we can find ourselves in a position of need.

I've heard it said(I think it's a line in a Movie) that "those who are hardest to love are the ones who need it the most"

I have found that there is profound power in loving, when it seems hardest to love. To forgive when it goes against the more hardened part of my human nature.

I have witnessed the power of this love in action. Giving to someone in need. Just because. No special reason, except just to give.

Loving the seemingly unlovable. Where does his ability come from? Well, I'm fairly sure that it originates in some form of higher power. The God of your understanding perhaps? Or if you don't believe in God in the conventional sense, from the Universe.

One thing I am fairly certain of, is that offering Mercy to those in need,is a tremendous opportunity to manifest a powerful, energetic expression of love, that richly benefits the giver and recipient.

A love that may heal, bring peace and lift someone up, when they need it most.

I pray and trust you find this Mercy anytime and everywhere you need it.
