My Heart of Mercy

As I look back on my life, the people I have known, some still dear friends and others lessons in life, someone told me once I always lead with a heart of mercy. I sat back and pondered that statement. I forgive quickly, not always forget. I look to understand more then to blame. I look at what is going on around the person in conflict, and why. I look at each person, that we all have bad days. If you ask for forgiveness from me, I will grant it and move forward from there. I listen, and many use to come to me and just share what was going on… even those not considered friends to me. I would help them and yet still know once the help was given, our worlds returned to what they were…people who simply knew each other’s names.
