Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; & what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, to love kindness, & to walk humbly with your God? Prov 21:3 To do righteousness & justice is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Hosea 6:6 For I desire steadfast love & not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. Matt 9:13 Go & learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, & not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” — what does it mean to show mercy? It means to have a heart of kindness toward our God & each other! —Psalm 51:1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Matt 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. Prov 11:25 A generous soul will prosper, & he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed. — Showing mercy refreshes the soul & our God loves a refreshed soul! Love Mel
