Have a little mercy

Hello children! My name is Edwin. For the most part, I am a pretty easy going person. So recently, I had a run into a conflict at FCBC the other day. So if you didn't know, fcbc hosts open gym volleyball (every first Thursday of each month at 7:30pm) and most of the people that go do not attend fcbc. So every week you walk into the MPB(gym) and you sign up on these white boards and basically there was this one person( lets call him Tyrone) who thought I had cut them.  So imagine a 5 foot 3 guy walking around trying to act all tough and pro.He got really worked up and you could tell he was annoyed and pissed off(maybe at me, I'm not sure). But anyways, trying to be the nicer person, I offered to let him go ahead and sign up ahead of me. He then shook his head angrily, puffed his "buff" chest and grabbed the marker to write down his name. So he actually didn't get to play first. The whole time I was playing I could almost feel his gaze(pretty sure he was dogging me the whole night) and imagine him thinking " this dumb kid screwed us over ". I'm not sure why but it really bothered me that he was so cocky but could barely hit over the net. He really got under my skin and after I had gotten home, I could not stop thinking about how childish he acted, given the circumstances.

Now what does this have to do with anything???? Going to back to Johnny's talk about mercy, after reading Ethan's post, I definitely felt a little guilty for not showing mercy and compassion. Maybe Tyrone had a really bad day? Who knows but maybe I shouldn't have been so quick to judge and showed him the mercy that God has shown us. Undoubtedly, we are so undeserving of God's grace and yet he still sent his son down on the the cross to save our sins. Leading to good Friday service which is tonight at 7:30pm. Hope to see you there!
