I believe that love and mercy are meant to be words of action, an outward expression toward another person. When we love someone we usually make a point of expressing our love in words, physical affection, or time. This causes people to feel loved and valued. When we feel merciful toward another, we actually experience their strife or pain and are often moved to be an active participant in their lives, helping in some way to remedy the situation.
My next book, The Power of Love and Mercy, is a collection of stories that show how when love and mercy become intertwined, amazing things happen. We need one another, and there are people in our midst that make it their life’s work to be ambassadors of love and mercy. So, not only will I share stories about the recipients of love and mercy, but I will be sharing about the champions who have dedicated their lives to that end.Â
How will you show love and mercy today?
