Are you merciful?

Being merciful has been defined as: showing a person compassion or being kindly affectionate toward someone. In Matthew 5:7, Jesus said, "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy." Do you find it difficult to show people kindness? Are you struggling with compassion? Everyone needs compassion. When we show people love, compassion and kindness, we become more like Christ. God has shown us mercy. This is why we too should be merciful. If Christians aren't kind, then what kind of Christians are they?
