When Jesus says blessed are the merciful for they shall receive mercy, he assumes that you really can't be merciful until you've received mercy in the first place. Mercy is not a deal, but an ongoing lifestyle. We receive mercy then we show mercy and as a result we receive more mercy, and as a result, we then show more mercy-and on and on.

 It's like we're rolling a snowball downhill. We start with a small one, maybe the size of a baseball. As we toss it down the hill, immediately gravity starts to pull it farther downhill. As it rolls over, of course, it collects more snow. Now it's bigger and heavier, and so gravity pulls it even harder. It rolls over even faster, and collects more snow, and gets heavier, and rolls faster. And so on. Before you know it, it's a huge ball, bounding down the hill. That's how it is with mercy: The more we receive mercy, the more we give mercy.

There are times when you feel as if the Lord is'nt listening but he is. The best thing to do is talk to him in private. I've been through boy troubles, family troubles, isolating myself and also things that i've never ever thought i wud of done. But i got a wake up call learning that Boys will be Boys there are plenty in this world and the same goes for girls too. I spoke to the Lord and going to church and confessed all the horrible things i've done wrong.I also had to FORGIVE but never FORGET so i wnt make the same mistake.I asked for forgivness. Now, i feel great i got baptized in 2003 but recently i repent and it's never to late to start over. Life is wonderful and always know that we all signed up for the life we have before we reached on this earth. We all have a PURPOSE and when our PURPOSE IS DONE OUR JOB IS COMPLETED. When your a believer you must understand that the devil finds ways to get you off track and their are many things today that makes us sin and we don't even know it. My pastor said i must pray day and night and everything is going to be alright. For those that are reading this Please never give up if u need anyone to talk to talk to God and you can talk to me. As brothers and sisters we must help eachother and not be hypocrites. So my lips are sealed. God Bless love cassie
