A Beacon of Grace: Embracing Mercy in a World of Indifference (05/07/'24) -Statement

A Beacon of Grace: Embracing Mercy in a World of Indifference (A Call to Grace and Mercy) "Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy," whispers the verse. To show mercy is to extend hands, forgive the unforgivable, and open our hearts to let kindness stream in. In the world's shadowed corners lies a great danger: people doing everything or nothing at all but without grace. They wield indifference like a sword and trample through dreams with pride. Meanwhile, those who do nothing look away from suffering, allowing darkness to grow. But mercy is fertile ground for peace. It soothes wounded hearts and provides common ground for enemies. To the weary and broken, mercy is the balm that promises dawn after the darkest night. Inaction holds no power here. Mercy rises as a lighthouse against neglect, and grace shines like morning dew, urging every soul to love, forgive, and pour compassion into every fractured crevice. Let us embrace grace, extend mercy with open hands, and become beacons in this restless sea, embodying harmony in a world yearning for warmth. Pastor Steven G. Lee (May 7, 2024)
