Welfare-mentality and

Responsibility 


Being thankful for God’s mercy is a key element in motivating our expressions of “mercy.”  Too many people today possess a “welfare-mentality.”  They go through life with little or no gratitude, thinking that they deserve the handouts of governments or private citizens. As long as one is unthankful, thoughts become self-centered.  The merciful person is sensitive to others’ needs and takes action to supply them.  Ungrateful persons, though, insulate themselves from others’ pains because the focus is on their own perceived miseries.
