It is quite unwise for anyone living on this earth not to have mercy on those who offend them.
Remember that the mercy you enjoy from God is enormous. If that is so, then how can you then not show mercy, even if just a little to those who offend you
You are expected by Jesus to forgive any and every offence that is committed against you irrespective of how the offense might be great or look at.
Quite all right, there are some offences that when you look at it carefully and assess them, they are not worth forgiving but remember you are born of God.
If each day you wake up daily to ask for mercy from your heavenly father, then how much those who offend you.
Try to forgive people who offend you and your own shall be forgiven.
This life we are living, I can boldy say it is just a reciprocal of how you treat people you will be treated, if you treat people bad, be sure to he expecting been treated bad by somebody else also.
It might be someone you know or somebody you did not know but most of the times, it always comes from those you did not know.
Back to what I am saying, be merciful and don't hesitate to always forgive people who offend you no matter the level or how grieved the offence is to you. Learn to forgiven, learn to be merciful and your heavenly father will sure forgive you and show you mercy out of his abundant mercy.
You can not really say what the future hold for you in advance, you might be surprise that somebody you help or show mercy to today might later be the one to help you or show you mercy in one situation or the other tomorrow.
Life always turn and is not always stagnant. Sow good and reap good. Sow mercy and reap mercy. Sow forgiveness and reap been forgiven.
Another side to demonstrating mercy is to show compassion on others. Many people pray endlessly that God should solve their problems, whereas they themselves there are people around them whose problems they can solve.
But the bad side is that they refuse to help them. It is those who shows mercy to others that he will be merciful to .
So you see now why it appears God does not answer some peoples prayers and they will continue to blame God for it whereas they are the cause of their prayer not answered
This will make me to make an example of one of the past event that happens to me when I was in school days.
I remember somebody offending me so bad in school and I was like making promises to myself that because of what this guy did. I will never forgive him or show him merciful.
But by the grace of God, I have a touch of heart and change my promises and forgive the person.
The funniest thing is that I later was in that shoe of that person after some time ago. I.e I later offend the person and seriously grieve him with my offence even much more than what he did to me(offend)
And I really know that why he forgive me was that I also forgive him when he needs my forgiveness some time back ago.
Can you see how this life turns around to people in an unexpected way. Imagine if I have not forgiven him, will he really forgive me? I seriously doubt that.
Try to live a merciful life always.
