I desire Mercy, not sacrifice. Matt. 9.13

"Go and learn the meaning of the words, "I desire mercy, not sacrifice." I did not come to call the righteous but sinners." Matt. 9.13

That is all. That is what I want to know, to feel, to believe. Mercy is it.

Mercy brings us to Love from Love. I only know mercy because mercy has been given to me. I have to choose to recognize it, claim it, and pass it on. It is a choice to believe in my ability to share the experience of mercy with everyone I encounter. Even if I am not sure it is deserved. I ponder Jesus' self gift of the Cross, there was no doubt in him. He was purely seeking mercy. For me, for you, for everyone.
