Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you [instead let these qualities define you]; Bind them [securely] around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart. So find favor and high esteem. In the sight of God and man. -Proverbs 3:3-4 AMP
How are you known to others? Has your name been associated with being merciful and kind? Are you known for being a bearer of truth or deceit? We may not be able to always affect other people’s perception of us, but we can definitely influence or clarify the character traits that they begin to identify us with. Even if kindness or truth just hasn’t been part of your story in the past, never forget that our God is FULL of compassion and mercy; and every morning is a new opportunity to get it right (Read Psalm 145:8-9, Lamentations 3:22-23)! Ask God for His help with this, and you’ll find favor both in His sight and in the sight of others. Have a wonderful Saturday!
