Keith Craft: Be merciful - it opens the doors to Grace.
Be merciful - it opens the doors to Grace.
The thought behind the quote
Most people think mercy and grace are the same. Mercy means to have good will toward the miserable and the afflicted joined with a design to help them. Grace is the power of God to do things God's way. So when we are merciful and desire to help people who sometimes have made themselves miserable by their own choices, we gain the power of God to do what God does by His grace.
