Blessed Are The Merciful

Today, after a day of fasting (prayer in the morning) I feel great.  I thank God for the health You give me, O Lord, our God. 

 The Lord God is my strength. (Habakkuk 3)

 The verse that comes to mind are the words of Jesus in the beatitudes: "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy." Paul goes on to explain how we love: "No one who loves others will harm them.  So, love is all that the law demands." (Rom. 13:10 CEV)   "Love does no harm to a neighbor.  Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." (NIV Rom. 13:10)  John, the "disciple who Jesus loved" gives us the bottom line on how to live in this world, "Dear friends, let us continually love one another, because love comes from God." (1 Jn. 4:7a ISV)
