Mercy defined is the compassion or forgiveness shown toward someone whom it is with one's power to punish or harm.

Compassion defined is sympathetic pity and concern for the sufferings or misfortunes of others.

Life comes with its troubles. There's going to be some pain and suffering. There are going to be periods of isolation. I am currently going through a period of isolation myself and these things are not pleasant to deal with. But Great is God's faithfulness and we can be full of hope and optimism because of the promise of having new compassions with every morning.
