MERCY,
NOT
SACRIFICE
" who can get stepped on and actu-
ally rejoice in it rather than feel rancorous about it. Perhaps the
Christian sac~ce lies not o~v in accepting these reactions, hit
offeri~ all of m sutteri~ and trials to God. ~ knows when we
are t~ ndstreated, andHe is aware of how we react to v~0~
uncomfortable situations. Burnt offerings are not what God ~ts,
Our sacd&e to ~ should s~ply be to show merq to those who
have offended us, as He sho~ mercy unto us. Even if our example
not followed or even appreciated,'and even if we get step# on
for acting with humility, we should rejoice, for 0~ reward will be
that we have pleased our Heavenly Father. More important,
remember that Cod sees the innehnost recesses of the heah, and
the motive is often more important than the external action. Tr~e
charity is the disposition to love our fellow humans, not the hope
f0r an et~ reward.
