Good morning,
Psalms 145:8
The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy.
What tough shoes to fill. To be more like Christ we need to be full of grace, have compassion, not get angry quickly and have lots of mercy.
Each person has an easier time with some of these than others may. Say for instance, you may be slow to anger, yet your spouse has a short fuse. You might have a friend who is very compassionate, but you have a hard time with it.
Each of us are made uniquely in God's image. We are called to be more like Him. However, this requires commitment to Him. Each area of being like Him takes prayer and communication with Him.
We might wake up one day and say "I'm going to show more mercy today. It might be easier said than done, if you don't seek Christ first in trying to achieve this.
What we need is to stay in God's word, continue in prayer and communication, while striving to be more like Him.
