Dearest Mercy

Often, as I read devotionals or Scripture in my mornings before the day begins, I glean a message for my spirit and growth. These thoughts are mine:

What are mercy’s enemies? 

Pride. Arrogance. Selfishness? Maybe my own simple distraction—nothing horrid but being too busy to notice misery. 

It’s easy to fall prey to any of those. Mercy is compassion for the miserable. It’s a valuable commodity in any era of life. I think most of us experienced a measure of misery recently. 

How do we dispense mercy to others? Give grace. Grace and Mercy are companions. #mercy #grace #christianauthor

“Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.” Matthew 5:7

I’m E.V. Sparrow

Coffee imbiber, chocolate connoisseur (sugar free please, so I don’t have to give it up), and the studier of personalities. My current book series of 3 is historical fiction inspired by my quirky great grandfather on my dad’s side of the family tree. On October 27, 2024, The BookFest Awards bestowed First Place in General Historical Fiction upon it! Stunningly unexpected.

Book 2 focuses on his sister’s life, and Book 3 reveals some of his son’s life.

According to many rumors, authors never stop learning. I’m studying and reading cozy mysteries for future projects. I’ve convinced myself I’ve adjusted to the black hole of writing and the author’s life. Why not add more challenges? What could happen?

Glad you’ve visited my site, and hope you’re intrigued enough for us to connect further on social media.
