- Read Matthew 5:7
I read a definition of merciful: someone who has compassion for other people, especially when in a position to punish them or treat them poorly.
- All of us are in various positions of power related to others. When has someone powerful in your life shown you mercy?
- Think of/ share a time this week when you had power but chose to show mercy (or perhaps you did not show mercy but could have).
- How can the power that you have be used for good?
Memorization Verse:
- Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.”
