Joyce Meyer: Promises for Your Everyday Life - a Daily Devotional Day 243 of 365 The Greatest Gift You Can Give Its the most outrageous thing. The more I think about it, the more amazed I am. It gives blessings that are undeserved and withholds punishment when it is deserved. Its absolutely the greatest gift you can give someone. This gift is called mercy. See, Jesus came to earth and gave us mercy, so we need to learn to give mercy to others. By Christs example, were taught to love and pray for our enemies. Were taught to be friendly to those who do not treat us as we would like to be treated. We are told to give to and care for the poor and helpless who will never be able to pay us back. We can give to people who will give us gifts in return. But were more blessed when we choose to give to those who cannot pay us back, thats giving mercy. The greatest gift you can give God is to become more like Jesus. You can do that by treating others the way He treated you. Give those around you the greatest gift they could ever receive from you: mercy. Prayer Starter: God, I thank You for the mercy that You selflessly give me every day. I choose now to give that mercy to others. Every chance I get, I will show them the mercy that You have shown me. Luke 6:36 Luke 6:36 MSG 35-36 “I tell you, love your enemies. Help and give without expecting a return. You’ll never—I promise—regret it. Live out this God-created identity the way our Father lives toward us, generously and graciously, even when we’re at our worst. Our Father is kind; you be kind.
