Justice And Mercy And Recovery

Depending on a given situation, we often find ourselves caught up in the conflict of our desire for justice or mercy. For those who wrong us, we lean towards the desire for justice. When we assess our own failures, we long for mercy.
He [God] loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth. (Psalm 33:5 NLT)


Without a clear picture of our own sinfulness and its awful consequences we will never find it in our hearts to be merciful to others. It is only because of our deep gratitude for God’s forgiveness of our sin that we can forgive others as we have been forgiven.

The Lord has shown you what is good. He has told you what he requires of you. You must act with justice. You must love to show mercy and you must be humble as you live in the sight of your God. (Micah 6:8 NIRV)
Prayer: Loving God, No one knows about justice and mercy like You do. Thank You for taking care of the just requirements for my sin by giving Jesus in my place to pay in full all that I owe. The love and mercy You have for me is amazing. Please help me to show to others the same love and mercy I have received. Amen
