Mercy

1.       Dave Harvey shares this illustration in his book, “When Sinners Say ‘I Do’” – I am more of a tea guy. My friends consider tea to be feminine, but I don’t think hard enough in the morning to ask gender questions of my breakfast drink. I’m just glad to have the right shoes on the right feet. And I like my tea sweet. Splenda, Sweet N’ Low, Equal…it doesn’t matter. Just back up the truck and dump it in. A sweetener works it magic by taking what is bitter and making it sweet. Like the sweetener in my tea, mercy changes the flavor of relationships. Mercy sweetens the bitterness out of relationships – especially marriage. So just back up the truck and dump the mercy in.”
