Title: Resemble your Father!
So be merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is [all these]. Luke 6:36 AMPC
Devotion: Jesus taught His disciples to be merciful just as God is merciful. A true child resembles the parents either genetically or physically.
The attributes manifest from young age, that is why children are not taught to lie when they do, it is inborn. Neither are they taught to take a thing and conceal it but it comes naturally. This means sin is the natural way of humans, inherited from our fore-parents Adam and Eve.
Now we have a new father - God through His son Jesus Christ who is our Lord and Saviour. If God is truly our father we must of necessity inherit God's attributes of Mercy, Compassion, Love, Kindness and Goodness. Therefore we must be "merciful (sympathetic, tender, responsive, and compassionate) even as your Father is [all these]" Luke 6:36 AMPC.
Dear reader, do you have any concerns or testimonies, please share it with us. Jesus is Love. Hallelujah.
