BE MERCIFUL

Luke 6:36 (NKJV) 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
    Jesus was so out of character with us, His character lived in harmony with the character of His Father, namely God, listen to John 4:34 ..., "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work. His mission, was to be, like food is to the body, so the servant is to the master and the Son is to the Father, total harmony in God. How is that possible, I am so glad you asked.
    The Son of the most high God points to the mercy of God, one of His character qualities, the urgency of this charge from Jesus is to be, we cannot be what is not in us to begin with. However there is a way and He provides that infusion of God's character by His very presence, listen to those who witnessed Jesus character, "with authority and power he commands," Mark 1:27 Jesus is in harmony with the Father.
     Character is sought for in the heart of men and it is God who is looking to see if there are those who exercise His character in their lives. Mercy cannot be worked up it cannot be worked in, Mercy must come supernaturally from the person of Jesus, it is only received by His presence and that presence must be in us. To receive His Mercy, we must receive Jesus into our person and that is only done by first recognizing that, I need food that I do not have. Ask Jesus to forgive you of living for you, believe He alone is the source of salvation from sin, and ask Him to come in and take control of your life, "He will save you and Mercy will reign in you. I like that don't you!
Heavenly Father I need You, I need Your character of Mercy, let my will be put away for Yours, and let the life of Christ reign in me. May I carefully listen to You that others may hear You in me, and may all you want to do in me be accomplished. Amen
