Matthew 5:7 (WEB) Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. Promise #238: I will show mercy to those who are merciful to others. Even in secular surroundings, there is an often quoted verse from Jesus that we call the ‘golden rule’… Do unto others as you would like others to do unto you. Even the world recognizes that this is a universal principle. Mercy works the same way. There is a promise for mercy for those who are merciful to others. It is that simple.

There are times when we need a father’s reassurance and there are times when we need a mother’s comfort.
