Why should we show mercy?

Is there someone in your life who needs mercy and do they need a lifeline or do you need to swim out and rescue them?

Mercy is a tall order and we need Jesus to help us be more merciful so we can be blessed and be a blessing to others!
Happy are the merciful for they will receive mercy.
