Blessed are The Merciful and The Peacemakers

Mercy is making the choice to see those who have hurt us the way God sees them and not the way others, or man-made rights, or the law or even our own life experiences see them. When we submit to God the right or ability to control the situation as we see fit - and focus on controlling the things we can control (our actions, attitudes, and choices) - we are merciful. We are peacemakers.
