You would think the Lord was trying to get a message across to us, wouldn’t you? 26 times !

I love mercy because I need it so much, how about you?

“He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (Micah 6:8).

“With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful;” (Psalm 18:25a).

“Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” (Matthew 5:7).

Mercy, Love, and Forgiveness are beautiful words, and go together, along with amnesty, clemency, and pardon.

If you want the Lord to be merciful to you then be merciful to others.

“for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7b).

Mercy will come back to you like a boomerang so be merciful !

“The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.”(Psalm 103:8).

“I will sing of the mercies of the Lord for ever:” (Psalm 89:1a).

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
