This quote from my reading of Emmet Fox’s sermon on the mount has really touched me:
“in deed and truth we are all one, component parts of the living garmet of God..”
Another word for “blessed” is happy or content. Content is the one who shows mercy. You may be farther along on the journey. Maybe you have a deeper spiritual understanding? If so, then when your brother or sister harms you, see that the God in them is calling out to you. The God in them is compelling you to demonstrate your spiritual maturity; to show mercy.
What you give is what you will receive.
You will then “… receive the same merciful help in your own hour of need from those who are farther along the path than you are.”
