Good morning God
12 August 2026
As we continue our meditation on the Sermon on the Mount, we see Jesus teaching His disciples and followers the principles of the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus, the King, reveals how citizens of His Kingdom are called to live according to God’s ways and experience the blessings that come from following His will.

Today, we focus on another beautiful statement of blessing: “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy” (Matthew 5:7). Mercy is one of the important attributes of God revealed throughout Scripture. Understanding who God is helps us understand His character, strengthens our faith, and gives us confidence in the One whom we trust.

The Old Testament repeatedly reveals that God is merciful, gracious, compassionate, loving, just, and righteous. Psalm 103:8 declares, “The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.” The same God calls His children to reflect His character in the way they live and treat others.

As followers of Christ, our goal is to become more like Jesus. Christlikeness means allowing God’s character to be reflected through our words, actions, attitudes, and relationships. Therefore, showing mercy is not simply an outward action; it is evidence of a heart that has been transformed by God’s grace.

Jesus concludes this section by saying, “Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). Kingdom citizens are called to reflect their Heavenly Father.

May we therefore be people who freely extend mercy, forgiveness, compassion, and love to others, remembering the mercy we ourselves have received from God. This is the blessed way of life in the Kingdom of Heaven.

May God bless you as you love God and love people.
