Dear Wisdom,
Please help us to better embrace the Beatitudes of Jesus.
“Blessed are the merciful: for they will be shown mercy”. (5:7) Matthew 5:3–12
Care to comment, Wisdom?
Answer
This statement is referring to compassion.
When one thinks of mercy they usually think of a jury showing leniency for the accused because of his background history.
They rationalize why the crime was committed.
When a person decides to show mercy, they are looking at the bigger picture than just the facts.
In Jesus era, if anyone was caught stealing food in the market, their hand was usually cut off unless family members could pay a fine.
There was no leniency or mercy even if the beggar hadn’t eaten in days.
The letter of the law was rigid.
It dealt only with the facts.
Jesus was stating that some time in life, a person has the opportunity to show mercy.
One never knows when they wish mercy is shown to them.
It will not always be for a similar experience.
Mercy might be shown in business, but later in life he hopes his children show him mercy for being an absent father.
*Live life with compassion.
There comes a time when compassion is most needed for self.
Thank you so much, Wisdom, with joy.
You are welcome, little “sea turtle”.
A sea turtle is born on land but lives its life in the ocean.
They are equipped to live in both places.
It is a struggle to get back to the sea after birth.
The sky is full of birds waiting to eat the sea turtles.
Those that reach the water now have to worry about the seals.
Some survive and live to start the cycle over.
This is the natural law of survival.
You need to protect yourself in both the physical and spiritual world.
Earth is known for a negative side of life.
There are also negative energies seeking to attach to similar vibration.
Always protect self with the Light of God and stay away from the denser energy.
People do not realize how powerful their thoughts are for drawing like energy.
This is not to scare you but to awaken compassion for life stories.
Just ask and we will protect you.
Thank you so much, Wisdom.
You are welcome precious one.
