Five Minute Friday- Mercy

I'm joining Lisa-Jo Baker and a bunch of other profound bloggers for:
  Five Minute Friday 
Today's topic: Mercy

Go
The first thing that came to mind when I read the word mercy was the lyrics to Multiply Your Love:
Let us see Your kingdom come
To the poor and broken ones
Let us see a mighty flood
Of justice and mercy, O Jesus
Let love be multiplied
Let love be multiplied
~Andy Park

... because if I really think about it... Mercy requires a tremendous amount of love...  Mercy requires that we set aside judgement... that we sacrifice somehow... rarely is it convenient... but it is required for a fulfilling life.

... and when we pour mercy on to others... we invite mercy to be bestowed upon us... and that hopefully becomes a cup that runneth over.

Stop
