Being Merciful: Is a human identity and divine virtue: Source of mercy?
Psalm 13:5, 6 But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in thy salvation. I will sing unto the LORD, because he hath dealt bountifully with me.
Human identity is being merciful by the nature of creation, as human is created in likeness and image of God. While that being the idea, is mercy has limitation? or it is limitless? If it has limitations, how it can be replenished? What is the source of mercy?
Human mercy has limitation, while God's mercy is limitless. Human mercy may fail in the face of trials and temptations, so it has its weaknesses and limitations. Human temperaments, personality, and inherent qualities varies widely, so does the capacity to reflect mercy. This being the nature and common observation on human dispositions, how a human may access a limitless source of mercy?
God is the source and author of mercy. His mercy is limitless and ever flowing like a river. How a human may access the mercy from God? It is logic to think that a constant association and relation with Heavenly father may help to access the mercy from God. If so, which action of human may predispose oneself to the access of God's mercy. Without a doubt we can attribute the merit to the actions of prayers. Prayers initiate the mode of living with an awareness of God's love and presence, and place human heart and soul in the constant seek for God's help. Through prayers the mercy of God flows through the faithful and fills the souls drenched in prayers.
God is the infinite source of mercy. The mercy of God is available for all for all the time for eternity. Through prayers anyone one can access God's mercy. While prayers are logical way to approach God, mercy of God cannot be earned by any virtues, but it is free for all given as gifts by heavenly Father himself.
