Question!

Arent we all called to show mercy? (Luke 6:36;

James 2:13)

So how is mercy showing a gift?

Answer: We are all called to be merciful, to

give, to serve, to encourage, etc. Absolutely.

But some people are better those different

tasks than other people are. Why?

God has specially gifted them!

Mercy Shower Profile

The mercy shower is usually a soft-spoken,though talkative individual, who appearsalways as a loving, caring, good natured,peaceable and agreeable person. She talkseasily with others, and others find it easy toopen up to her.

The mercy shower identifies emotionally and

mentally with people, and is usually goodabout remembering their names.

The mercy shower is not necessarily a goodcounselor, unless she has the discipline toevaluate objectively anothers needs.Although able to connect emotionally withpeople, she is not always logical.

She can be indecisive, and if she isnt careful shecan take on too much emotional burden from

others and even become depressed.

Her heart goes out to the poor, the aged, the ill,the unattractive and the underprivileged.
