Keeping the Word Alive--The Mercy Gift

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array. By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work. Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done. Genesis 2:-3

On the seventh day, God rested. While Mercy’s heart is capable of many things, this person’s heart is to enjoy God and His presence. Mercy moves at a slower speed because God designed them to extract the deepest amount of insight, understanding, and wisdom from what they experience. Mercy sees God’s finger prints in a more complex way. God created nothing new on the seventh day, yet He celebrated what He had created. Mercy celebrates what is good and true. A Mercy gift gets along with everybody easily. This person is admired and respected, and creates intimacy of soul and physical touch. Mercy hears from God but has a difficult time explaining why. This is a safe person for wounded people to be around because his person can help feel safe.

One of Mercy’s strongest weaknesses is impurity because Mercy desire for intimacy and physical touch can lead to impurity. Mercy is also an enabler and wants to protect others from pain. Mercy is also not confrontational and so, may tolerate abuse and exploitation because of his/her unwillingness to allow injustice to continue.
