This message is intended to encourage us to have the mind of Christ and to display the heart of God to extend mercy to others. Regardless of the how we feel we are to measure the mercy we extend to others by the mercy God has extended to us. God's compassion is the gauge. Extending mercy does not mean we must keep subjecting ourselves to abuse, toxicity, or unhealthy situations. It does mean that extending mercy and forgiveness is for the benefit of our own health and wholeness. Matt 18:21-35
