Today's Bible Promise - "I obtained mercy" 1 Tim. 1:16

However, for this reason I obtained mercy, that in me first Jesus Christ might show all longsuffering, as a pattern to those who are going to believe on Him for everlasting life. 1 Tim. 1:16

Mercy: to be compassionate or show kindly forbearance toward an offender; pity, or benevolence; an act of kindness, or favor; evidence of divine favor; blessing;

Prayer
God is merciful towards me and does not give me what I deserve. Thank You Lord Jesus, for helping me understand and grow in forgiveness. So many times I have failed and asked You for mercy and yet I have been unwilling to show mercy to others. Form in me the virtue of mercy so I learn to understand that everyone deserves forgiveness just as much as I do. Deliver me from being a critical Christian that is judgmental and hard towards people that don't conform to my image. Help me testify of Your matchless grace and mercy to sinners like me who need forgiveness. In Your worthy name I pray.
