Matthew 5:7

Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Our verse for today reminds me of a phrase in the Lord’s Prayer. It says, “And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.” We want to be forgiven by God, so we must be willing to forgive others just as we have been by God. And like it is with forgiveness, so it is with mercy. Our verse assures us that if we are merciful, God will extend His mercy to us. We need God’s mercy because we are sinful people. So we should be merciful to others too.
