God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being 'care-full,' you find yourselves cared for.
Sometimes I think add too much as I wrestle through the scripture. I slant the story God is trying to reveal to me toward my tendencies, my reluctances, my fears. But when we read the Word of God- it's about us shaving off our tendencies and re-orienting ourselves around truth. And don't be scared from that word (sorry so many people have tainted it). Truth is simply reality the way God sees it. I can get in on that.
So today- care about others. Go out of your way to show mercy. Why? Because Jesus declares there is no better way to live- he has a track record of inviting people to the fullest life possible- I doubt He got it wrong here.
Keep faith simple today.
