Day 8: Mercy

"But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners."Matthew 9:13

"But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere." James 3:7

Lord, mold these young hearts to be people who reflect you. Guard them from the human tendency to be judgemental and fill them with grace and mercy instead. May they really "get it" that you call us to live lives overflowing with love, compassion and mercy.
