The transformation of the Spirit and the Word of God radically changes the trajectory of our lives. We begin to develop an insatiable craving for the person and purposes of God. Being poor in spirit, we realize our utter bankruptcy before a sovereign and holy God. Our only hope is in becoming objects of His infinite mercy. This simultaneously produces the capacity and the energy for us to show mercy toward others. In a kingdom economy, mercy breeds mercy. Once received, it must be shown. The cycle continues as the impact becomes exponentially greater.
