I'm looking for people who have the spiritual gift of mercy like I do. So far I haven't met anyone and it's really disheartening. 

Could you define 'mercy' and 'merciers'? This may help get a response.

I think a better term would be someone who is very sensitive. 

I believe I fall under this category as I am extremely sensitive to my environment & those around me.

A lot of this sounds like me...I've even had people tell me that my strongest gift (or one of them) is to make people feel better without really trying. I've had people tell me things they wouldn't even tell their therapists (if they had one). It's interesting how someone will say 'you should come to this board more often, you have a good vibe' when they only know you from the internet, and not even that well. I hate being firm with people and am very much a pushover at times.

The one thing I can't do, though, is take other people's burdens onto myself...at least, not very often. I have problems with depression and bipolar disorder, so there have been times when I will be crushed by taking on so many burdens...what help would I be to anyone then?
