Delightful, wonderful! Thank you! Journaled this before first light this morning . . .
When you experience mercy, you learn things that are hard to learn otherwise. You see things you can’t otherwise see; you hear things you can’t otherwise hear. You begin to recognize the humanity that resides in each of us. ~Bryan Stevenson~
Perhaps that is our key to reconciliation with one another?
Justice by itself is not enough. Justice without mercy — read Micah — justice without love can turn into revenge, and that is not the way of God. “What does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.” And if we live in God and live in love, we will find ourselves in relationship with God and with each other. ~Michael Curry~
