When we align ourselves with judgement, we begin from a position of dust, the earth. The blood of Abel cries out from the dust for vengeance. If we seek vengeance, judgment, or even justice, we situate ourselves with the cry of his blood, crying out from the earth. When we cry out for MERCY, we situate ourselves with the blood of Jesus which cries MERCY!! We seat ourselves at the Mercy Seat and our cry originates from the Throne of Grace - the heart of the Father. We are to DO justly but to LOVE mercy.... Mercy triumphs over justice. (James 2:13)....Thanks be to God, I can live in and operate through mercy.
