May 30 - Mercy

May 30

"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect." Matthew 5:48

I find that I sometimes have a critical nature, not all of the time, but sometimes.

Maybe I am alone.

Especially in areas where I have a tiny bit of knowledge. For example, if I am driving and another road user does something to unnecessarily disrupt the flow of the traffic, I find myself muttering.

Maybe I am alone.

On occasion I do catch myself and think ‘Well maybe anyone can make that mistake, as I have sometimes.’ But more often than not I am merciless and vent behind that comfort of my steering wheel to my passengers.

Maybe I am alone.

Perhaps, just perhaps I should demonstrate more forgiveness in my thoughts and actions as the example I am following made no mistakes yet he counsels “Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

I trust that I am not alone.
