The Beatitudes are very helpful for the Christ follower; they teach the character and lifestyle we should emulate. Christ said, "God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy" (Matthew 5:7). Mercy is a compassionate and forgiving response that a person gives even when he or she has been wronged.

God is the Creator and he has made many kinds of people; many different personality types. Some people can be a challenge when it comes to making relational connections. These challenges can be good as they cause us to work toward unity. God calls us to be One in Christ Jesus. Well, that certainly will take some work! Because we are more powerful together than in isolation, we need to press through the difficulties to find a way to "connect" with one another. Today's difficult personality is a drag to the emotions: The Downer.
