I Belive In God

I am trying to be in right place with God. It is difficult though because one the things I have to do is to show mercy to others so God will show mercy to me. How do you show mercy to someone who gets under your skin everyday? And what exactly do I do to show mercy to him?

Sometimes the best way is to ignore whatever they're doing that gets under your skin. That way, they stop.
Sometimes, showing mercy is no reaction.

How would God show mercy to you? Sometimes that's what he expects of us toward others.

@O-sure: Yes, I see the difference. I try to forget about his faults, but there is something new that comes up and it's a never-ending cycle.

@adhane05: as long as you can see the deeper truth of it and also have an older translation. Also read up on Constatine and the council of Nicea, as well as King James and why they translated it to suit them.

Try to ignore them. If they constantly get under your skin with purpose then they havent changed their ways and therefore not made themselves worthy of forgiveness.

@ZenLioness719: 🤔 yes, ignoring them as I also said hehe... Perhaps he should try to avoid them? I just mean that, before a period is over, I don't think one should forgive that period. That period, from my standpoint, currently being the duration which they are being annoying towards him. But if his morale tells him to forgive them before they've regretted it, then he should follow that of course.
