…mercy triumphs over judgement.

Mercy is the way of the cross. When we follow Jesus we see there is no other way to live like him unless we are choosing to continually live in love. That sounds easy, right? It is surely the more costly way. When we lay down our lives in love, we forgive instead of seeking revenge, we are kind to those who ridicule us, and we sacrifice our own comfort for the truth.

… That should bring us pause. Are we living with mercy as our covering, or are we keeping love at a distance by judging others continuously?
