The next time you find yourself hard hearted against another person, be wary that you don't let yourself act unjustly or unmercifully towards them.

The next time you find yourself hard hearted against another person, be wary that you don't let yourself act unjustly or unmercifully towards them. The next time you see someone in need, don't walk by and ignore them; or worse mock them. Even if all you have to give is a smile and kind words, give them. For the epistle of St. James teaches us that those who show mercy to others (whether that be a person in need, or someone we are upset with) will have mercy shown to them. (James 2:13) If we want mercy from God, we must show it to others.

Do you need mercy? We all do! Have you shown mercy?
