Mercy according to the dictionary is to show “compassion or forgiveness toward someone whom it is within one’s power to punish or harm.”
Robert Young’s on the other hand explained Mercy to be as following: “kindness, loving kindness, pity, compassion, beneficent,” etc
The Almighty God has indeed been so merciful to you and I, especially since the beginning of this year. That we are alive despite going through the valley of the shadow of death of 2020 is a miracle of God’s mercies.
If there is anything to be thankful to God for today, it is to appreciate Him for His boundless mercies over us all.
