It is our failures that help us show mercy

Morning: Psalms 23, 27; Joel 2:21-27; James 1:1-15

Failures – when we admit them and accept forgiveness – and hardships can both contribute to maturity and wisdom.  We all fail; we all experience troubles. It is hard to understand others when they let us down or when they blame their troubles on us.  You would think that, given our common experience of failure and trouble, we would be ready for anything.  Sadly, failure and struggle wounds some people more deeply than others.  So pray for an understanding heart … Compassion heals the one who receives mercy but also the one who shows mercy.
