\u201cBlessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy\u201d (Matthew 5:7).
\n\u201cTherefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful\u201d (Luke 6:36).<\/center> <\/p>\n

Here are ten ways to be merciful to others, besides being charitable with our money and material possessions.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Teach those who lack knowledge or understanding.<\/li>\n
  2. Reassure those who doubt.<\/li>\n
  3. Correct those who do wrong.<\/li>\n
  4. Patiently endure injustices.<\/li>\n
  5. Forgive those who trespass against us.<\/li>\n
  6. Pray for others.<\/li>\n
  7. Comfort those who are suffering.<\/li>\n
  8. Be kind to those who offend us.<\/li>\n
  9. Strengthen those who are weak.<\/li>\n
  10. Support those who fight for truth and righteousness.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
