“Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy” (Matthew 5:7).
As we end this PreThanksgiving Week of Prayer, our thoughts turn to Donna Crabtree who serves with her husband Jeff in Fredericktown, New Brunswick, Canada. Donna exemplifies today’s Scripture as she compassionately works with others. Her ability to know when someone needs a listening ear or perhaps guidance in the Scriptures serves as an asset to this mission work.
Are you one who shows mercy to others? Do others see the true light shining through you? I once read the following statement: “The true definition of sympathy is your pain in my heart.” Does your life radiate that kind of compassion? If we are willing to show mercy to others, we can be sure we “shall obtain mercy.” As we use the gift of mercy we can show others the love of God.
