"I have always found that mercy bears richer fruits than strict justice."
----- Abraham Lincoln, from a speech in Washington D.C. in 1865, said as he was preparing the United States for life after the US Civil War.
Mercy is the compassionate relief from distress.
No one deserves mercy, but God freely gives it to us which means we can follow His example if we choose to. Next time when I don't "feel" like forgiving someone, maybe I can still extend mercy and be compassionate. The feelings will follow.
