Mercy The Old Testament writers often said God’s Mercy was everlasting. They used the term merciful kindness. Mercy has been described as not getting what we deserve. Mercy is inserted where judgment would have been appropriate. We need to example this grace to others as well as receive it for ourselves. Forgiveness is an expression of mercy. Do you desire this mercy of God? He desires to see you express to others as well.

Ministering If you want to be great in God’s kingdom you must learn to be the Servant of all. Ministering means to be Jesus for someone.

There are only two types of people who need to be ministered to; those who know Christ and those who do not.
