What is Mercy?
Mercy is a beautiful thing.
It is an eternal characteristic of the One who loves humanity
so much.
A wonderful definition of Mercy from the original Greek word
[eleos] in scripture is, “simple kindness or good character
towards the miserable and afflicted, joined with a desire to help
them.” [Romans 9:23]
​
In Daniel 9:18, we see Mercy [from the Hebrew word racham]
portrayed as the way that a pregnant woman cares for and
cherishes her baby inside her womb.
God has shown us so much mercy; and that is why, at MMI, we
want to live our lives this way.
​
We desire the mercy of our God to touch everyone around us; no matter what their circumstances. We want this “compassion in action” to affect, infect and change lives all over the world.
​
“But God still loved us with such great love. He is so rich in compassion and mercy.” - Ephesians 2:4 (TPT)
​
“Mercy kisses all his godly lovers, from one generation to the next.” - Luke 1:50 (TPT)
​
“Celebrate with praises the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has shown us his extravagant mercy. For his fountain of mercy has given us a new life- we are reborn to experience a living, energetic hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”- 1 Peter 1:3 (TPT)
