Solomon’s exhortations: “Do not let mercy and kindness and truth leave you instead let these qualities define you.” We cannot be kind, merciful, or truthful by our own efforts or in our own power. But by meditating on God’s word, by inviting the Holy Spirit to transform us, God’s kindness, mercy, truth, and favor can be ours.
