Proverbs 20:28
Mercy and
truth preserve the king: and his throne is upholden by mercy.
Mercy and
truth are companions that should always accompany each other when we are in the
place of authority. When we are placed
in a position of authority we need mercy and truth. We must be sure to not only deal with the
truth of the matter but we must be sure to have mercy as well. Our position will be preserved by mercy and
truth. By looking at a situation in its
truth and giving consequences with mercy we will be able to love those we rule
over. Mercy extends compassion and an
understanding heart of how someone my have failed. Mercy is the heart of God. When our children
rebel or disobey it is our responsibility to give consequences to teach truth
but as we give those with a smile and compassion our children can understand
that our acceptance of them is not rooted in their works but our relationship
with them. Sisters, can you take your
pride out of the situation and administer truth with mercy? This will help you as mothers and friends and
wives. Truth and mercy will preserve you
and any position of influence and authority will be upheld by mercy.
