"I think that's why Christ said "Blessed are the poor in spirit," because
it's a great grace to be so in touch with your own brokenness, so badly
in need of mercy -- and then to have found that the mercy is there! The
mercy is there even if we don't ask for it! The mercy is there even if
we don't know what mercy is! The mercy is there entirely apart from us
"deserving" it! That is the very nature of mercy, of love."
