MERCY NOT JUDGMENT
Who
Who are you
Who am I
To be passing judgment on someone else
In today’s world
Give mercy
Give compassion
Give someone a free pass
Give someone love
God’s love
Look at the story of Daniel
Did you know
That the name Daniel means
“God is my judge”
Daniel goes public
He confesses his sin
And the sins of God’s people
How can Daniel
Be so sure
God will forgive him
Forgive them
Because Daniel knows
That he has the history of God
On his side
Daniel knows
That our God
Is a God of love and compassion
He has rescued his people
Over and over again
God saved
Daniel’s 3 friends
From the blazing furnace
God saved Daniel himself
From the lion’s den
And in Luke 7
We find Jesus saying,
“Do not judge
Or you too will be judged
For in the same way
That you judge others
You will be judged
And with the measure you use
It will
Be measured against you”
Take Daniel as your model
Give mercy---give love
Take Jesus
As your model
And as your God
Because giving someone else mercy
And not judgment
Is God’s way
Give someone love
Give someone a free pass
And do it TODAY

Ps “It does not therefore depend on man’s desire or effort
But on God’s MERCY” Romans 9:16
“Blessed are the merciful
For they will be shown MERCY” Matthew 5:7
“Because judgment without mercy
Will be shown to anyone who has NOT been merciful
MERCY triumphs over judgment!” James 2:13
