RE: Mercy Begets Mercy

in #life6 years ago

I agree wholeheartedly with this post. It cant be easy doing what your Joyce Myers example did....my immediate reaction was to walk away lady...walk away and let him feel of your loss. BUT she was right to do what she did.
I believe forgiveness and kindness fix the person doing the forgiving and offering the kindness even more than those receiving it. That should not be the motivation in doing those things, but more of a blessing that comes because of it.
We have all seen too many people that are sour, angry and depressed because of not letting go, or remaining upset because of something that was done to them. It's sad and destructive.

Keep well and thank you

Love the carving BTW

I love your comment and the way you nailed it.

It doesn't matter the religion, mercy is reciprocal. When we give and show mercy, we obtain it too.

When we hold on to the past and never let go, the prisoner that is held is us, not actually the offender or one that hurted us.

Thank you. Is that your quote "When we hold on to the past and never let go, the prisoner that is held is us, not actually the offender or one that hurted us". It's brilliant!

Keep well and much happiness to you
