So I took a test on which gift I had (I already knew it was mercy from the beginning) and after I took the test, it said mercy.

I'm disabled mentally. Like I've very confused and screwed up in my head, so please forgive me if I sound stupid or I'm not very understanding.

But what things can I do to live my purpose and gift of giving mercy?


PLUS, since I'm slow and confused, how can I understand the Bible? I'm thinking of getting a study bible when I can afford it, but I'm terrified that I still won't understand it.

I also don't have anyone real to go to for my problems and everything who I'm not afraid of to judge me except for Christ. I just love Him so much, I want to give Him my all, my whole life, my everything. Please help me.

The message of Christ's teachings is indeed mercy.

Mercy goes even higher than the laws of Moses if the two are in conflict.

Mercy can mean a lot of things. Religion doesn't really have good understanding of it. You might be required to be merciful to others or seek the Truth through the understanding of mercy.

Is there anywhere nearby where you can volunteer in any capacity?

Serving food to the homeless?
Helping in a nursing home?
Helping at a food bank?

It is better to post this in the Spiritual Gifts forum.

I'm disabled mentally.

I have Aspergers and I have a son with a more severe form of autism. Do you know what your mental age is?

If you do, pick a Bible version that is geared to that age.

A great way to gain a better understanding of the Bible is to watch the videos at The Bible Project.
