With a Merciful Heart
My dear son,
I want to share the heart of your merciful Father with you. As you meet people, listen to what they are living through as well as noticing what they do well or poorly. Your willingness to understand matters to me.
As I am generous with you, may you find room for kindness toward others. You can speak truthfully about a wrong while honoring the person. Make space in your heart for someone who needs help.
Did you have an opportunity to understand someone today? Tell me about it, or about what you want to learn. Offer yourself merciful words, too, as the night ends. Your Father's loving care is here.
With all my love,
Your Father
