A CW song idea

Because I am in Bakersfield, the hometown of Buck Owens, I can't go anywhere without hearing country-western music. So naturally, when I was trying to put a finger on how I feel this week, I couldn't help but come up with a country-western song title--"Sometimes You're the Hammer, Sometimes You're the Nail".

I am definitely the "nail" this week. Nothing I have planned has run smoothly, and problems just keep "hammering" at me. Please pray that things go a little easier the last few days of the week for me.

No comments:

"I demand from you deeds of mercy, which are to arise out of love for Me. You are to show mercy to your neighbors always and everywhere. You must not shrink from this or try to excuse or absolve yourself from it.

I am giving you three ways of exercising mercy toward your neighbor:
the first — by deed, the second — by word, the third — by prayer. In these three degrees is contained the fullness of mercy, and it is an unquestionable proof of love for Me. By this means a soul glorifies and pays reverence to My mercy.

Many souls ... are often worried because they do not have the material means with which to carry out an act of mercy. Yet spiritual mercy, which requires neither permissions nor storehouses, is much more meritorious and is within the grasp of every soul.

If a soul does not exercise mercy somehow or other, it will not obtain My mercy on the day of judgment. Oh, if only souls knew how to gather eternal treasure for themselves, they would not be judged, for they would forestall My judgment with their mercy".
