Jesus declared in Matthew 5:7 Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Jesus reveals an important principle that runs throughout His teachings: that of corresponding action,  otherwise known as the principle of sowing and reaping.

Jesus highlighted corresponding action in Luke 6:37.

Jesus declared, “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Jesus went further to emphasise that: With the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

This is important, you need to know this:

The Father is faithful to perform His Word; He watches over His Word to execute His will and purposes.

If you are merciful to others, if you demonstrate love and compassion to a person in their time of need, you are setting yourself in line with God’s own heart.

When you sow mercy, you open the door for mercy to be sown back into your life. That means every act of compassion you show becomes a seed that God Himself will not forget.

If you find yourself one day in trouble, in weakness, or in a place of need, the same mercy you extended will rise up to meet you.

God will see to it that mercy comes back into your life, Every act of kindness, every word of comfort, every moment of compassion positions you under the promise of Christ—you shall obtain mercy.
