I think its alot of what Kat said. Its nonthreatening, I do not want people to feel intimidated by my faith.

Mercy is a huge aspect, so is forgiveness. I have saw many Christians hold a grudge and by my standards I would say they have a right to do so. But we have to forgive because God forgave us, we have to show mercy because Gad gave us mercy when we did not deserve it.
The tragedy of life is not found in failure but complacency. Not in you doing too much, but doing too little. Not in you living above your means, but below your capacity. Never failure but low aim, is life greatest tragedy.
