"'Blessed are the merciful:
they shall have mercy shown them.
Blessed are the pure in heart:
They shall see God.'"
When I show mercy to others I am recognizing my own humanity. I realize that my roles in life are very fleeting and that the dynamics in all relationships are fluid. When I truly approach all relationships as opportunities to serve God, love others, help people achieve their highest and best selves, and maximize their own loving potential, then I know I am truly living as God intended me to live. When I am wronged, insulted, offended, or violated, and then show mercy, I know I will in turn receive mercy.
I can feel when my heart is pure. I feel a lightness of being, a joy that reminds me that there is no greater, happier, more meaningful moment in my life than right now. I am glorified in the realization that I am alive. I breathe. I see, hear, notice, feel, touch, taste, and smell God. All is well.
I am never guaranteed any more life than that which I am living in this instant. Nothing else truly matters when defining my happiness. Here I am. This is all I need.
