Today we look at Matthew 5:7 and the beatitude about being merciful. Ultimately God showed us the greatest form of mercy through His son Jesus. Listen today as we look into the story of Ruth and Boaz to discover how great God's mercy is. This is a love story that conradicts everything the world paints as love and ends with a promise.
