“The demand for mercy is far from being for the sake only of the man who needs his neighbour’s mercy; it is greatly more for the sake of the man who must show the mercy. It is a small thing to a man whether or not his neighbour be merciful to him; it is life or death to him whether or not he be merciful to his neighbour. . . The reward of the merciful is, that by their mercy they are rendered capable of receiving the mercy of God – yea God himself, who is Mercy.”
~George MacDonald
