People create problems, right? That is normal and it is accepted, at least until a certain point. It is part of the game of relationships and a healthy relationship is capable of embracing that reality, forgiving and moving on.
But some
problems cause deep wounds in the soul. Other people you know have hurt others;
some have hurt you. And, yes, sometimes you have hurt others. What is the
medicine for such a hurt?
To respond
with the word love would look cheap
for me a few years ago; that was when I decided to explore the subject of love
and I was able to dismiss the type that offers an easy and simplistic answer.
It is simply not realistic as love cannot heal anybody by itself, just like a
hug can't heal a child who fell; it is just an emotional response, it just
provides some psychological support and, of course, it is worthwhile. But it
does not heal.
However,
love can be expressed in various ways and there is a form that heals. MERCY.
Mercy is a
type of love that comes from a particular relationship or even profession, so
it does not fluctuate easily and it is much focused. How is mercy used to heal
a relationship? The person will use their specialty to help the other one.
A mother will help her child by giving advice or by unburden him or her of some chores.
A doctor will treat their patient by giving medicine, but mostly by giving the best of their expertise.
A salesman will give a chance for another person to accomplish their dream.
A spiritual person maybe won't give something physical, but their words and their vibrations are very merciful.
How are you going to express mercy towards
other people today?
