An interesting tidbit from history...
When Rome fell centuries ago, it was believers who rebuilt society by their acts of mercy.
As our own society breaks down, the need for similar action may be in our future... so make a habit of dealing mercifully with others.
You just might be laying the foundation of a new world.
'Do not let kindness and truth leave you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart' (Pr.3:3).
