“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.”
— Matthew 5:7 NASB1995
🫶 Forgive Like You’ve Been Forgiven
We all want mercy when we mess up. But what about when someone else messes up and hurts you?
Being merciful isn’t the same as being a doormat. It’s choosing to forgive instead of getting revenge. It’s helping when someone doesn’t deserve it. And it’s being kind even when you could be cold. That’s mercy. And Jesus says that those who give it—get it back.
🔊 Real Talk:
- Who are you struggling to show mercy to right now?
- Why is it so hard to forgive when you’ve been hurt?
✨ Try This:
Send an encouraging text to someone who annoyed you recently—or pray for someone who doesn’t deserve it. That’s mercy in action.
✍️ Prayer:
Jesus, I want to show mercy like You do. Help me forgive, help me care, and help me be different from the world around me. Thank You for showing me mercy first. Amen.

I’m a follower of Christ, learning daily to walk the narrow path laid out in His Word. Through Rooted & Raised: Anchoring Women & Children in Christ, I simply seek to point others back to Scripture, tested by the Holy Spirit, lived out in faith, and anchored in truth.
● This space isn’t about lofty theology or grand platforms. It’s about humble obedience, Kingdom living, and helping others, especially women and families, rediscover the kind of faith that bears fruit, costs something, and reflects the love of Christ. My heart is to encourage others as I learn, grow, and surrender alongside them.
