Here is an excerpt from this podcast:

“True mercy is never born of weakness or sentimentality. It flows from a position of strength—spiritual, emotional, and moral strength rooted in God’s grace. The merciful person isn’t a pushover, nor are they naïve about evil or sin. They see clearly the wrong that’s been done, yet they choose to respond with forgiveness and compassion instead of vengeance. That takes strength. It takes strength to hold back anger when you’ve been wronged. It takes strength to forgive when your heart cries out for justice. It takes strength to show kindness to someone who cannot repay you.”
