Family Ministries - Marriage Encouragement Mercy. “A Christian spouse who understands mercy is a husband or wife who looks forward to another opportunity to demonstrate God’s grace. It is a believer eager to forgive, whose first thought leaps towards reconciliation rather than revenge. Mercy isn’t an obligation grudgingly given in to – it’s the love of his or her life! It’s his or her favorite practice.” Devotions for a Sacred Marriage by Gary Thomas, p. 63 Reflection: “Love Mercy” – Micah 6:8. Thought for prayer: Reflect on how much God has forgiven me. See if there are people (including my spouse) that I need to extend grace to. |
