Hi everyone,

I know in the basic sense mercy means that when I commit a sin, as long as I am willing to confess and repent God will forgvie me because He is merciful.

But the definition go deeper than that? For example, if I am suffering, will He be merciful and take it away?

What other definitions of mercy are there?

And will I am at it, can someone also explain the following terms to me. Virtue, adoration and charity

God’s mercy is His complete Love for us and willingness to help us in any way we will let Him.
This does not necessarily mean that he will remove suffering if that suffering is intended for our good. He will provide us with the grace to endure teh suffering, even though it might sometimes seem as if He has not.

Peace
James

How about this aspect. The scriptures say that His mercies are new every morning. I’ve thought about this and realized that when I wake up to a new day, He has demonstrated His mercy because He has the power of life and death and has allowed this sinner another chance to right the wrongs, demonstrate love, serve.
I also think, in regards to suffering, that the body of Christ, of which we are a member, is to suffer, die, and be resurrected as He suffered, died, and rose again.
Just a couple of thoughts.
