Mercy and Becoming Aware

Do you know the line, “break my heart for what breaks yours” from the song Hosanna by Hillsong?

If you don’t, give it a listen today. If you do - have you ever listened to the lyrics attentively? This song invites us to get to know the heart of Jesus. His heart is full of mercy.

To be merciful, I need to look past my own needs and pay attention to the needs of others to reflect God’s heart to my family, friends, and strangers.

Exercise:

Think about your week. Where did you come into contact with someone who had a physical, emotional, or spiritual need? How did it make your heart feel? Speak to God about this.

Prayer:

“Jesus, give me the grace to show mercy to my family and friends.”
