Mercy Keeps Us Human
A 60 Seconds of Hope Reflection
“Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.”
— Matthew 5:7
The Greek word translated merciful doesn’t describe fairness or balance.
It describes compassion given where it is not earned.
Mercy is a kind of grace that recognizes the humanity of another—even when that humanity has been obscured by fear, failure, or harm.
To give mercy is to say: I still see you.
And when we recognize the humanity of another, something important happens—we preserve our own.
Without mercy, we shrink.
We harden.
We reduce people to their worst moment.
But mercy refuses that narrowing of the soul.
What we give is what we get—not because life is transactional,
but because mercy keeps us human.
I’m Horace McMillon.
This is 60 Seconds of Hope.
Peace be with you.
