Blessed Are the Merciful

Blessed (happy, to be envied, and spiritually prosperous—with life-joy and satisfaction in God’s favor and salvation, regardless of their outward conditions) are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy! -Matthew 5:7 AMPC
I have discovered that one of the best things we can do in life is to help and care for other people—not just those deserving of help, but perhaps especially those who are not.
Selfishness leads to unhappiness. But one of the greatest things we can do when we’re experiencing difficulties is to get our minds off our own problems and reach out to help someone else.
I spent many years being totally selfish, and I was unhappy all the time. As God made me aware of how selfish I was and began teaching me the power of caring for others, my life changed drastically for the better. I personally discovered how happy caring for others made me, and I believe you’ll find it makes you happy, too.
Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) teaches us a powerful principle. It says, Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
