As a Christian, we are called to follow Christ’s example and to imitate Him. We are called to be holy, just as Christ was holy. We are commanded to be perfect and understanding…equipped for every good work. We are to be without fault. Complete. Wanting nothing. We are to be like-minded – one in understanding with the mind of Christ; in unity with the Spirit. Set apart for the service of Christ. Merciful, forgiving, compassionate, gracious, forbearing, tenderhearted – in the exact same way our Heavenly Father has shown mercy to us. Beloved, as God's children, we can reflect this beautiful characteristic as we die to self and live for Him. We can’t be merciful in our own strength. It’s a supernatural act that’s enabled by the indwelling of the Holy Spirit as we walk in Spirit and Truth as God’s children.
Luke 6:36 ~ Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.
