Greetings Bible Enthusiast!


James 3:17

But the wisdom that is from above is...full of mercy.


I immediately thought of Matthew 5:7, ("Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy,)" when I read the above passage. When we take the time to be honest with ourselves, and admit how much we, indeed! are in need of mercy, it becomes easier to be merciful with others!

God Bless You!

--FEATURED FUNNY:

My friend's father is a locksmith in a resort town. Once he saw a group of beach goers park near his shop and dump trash from their car on his property.

As soon as they were out of sight, and walking towards the beach, the locksmith picked the lock on their car door, put the garbage back inside and relocked the car.
