love mercy

For the last few days the old song about "What does the Lord require of you (Micah 6:8)" has been running through my mind. The phrase "love mercy" is the part that has been making me stop and think. We may be able to EXTEND mercy but that is not the same thing as LOVING mercy. When I love something or someone, nothing is to much to ask. I'll pour my heart and soul and strength and mind into someone that I love. How can I love mercy to that extent. I know it takes God to love. But what would loving MERCY actually look like?? I'm just ASKING and PONDERING the question. Like I said, I've been thinking on this for only a few days ........ any comments??
