Act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.
That is justice tempered with mercy, and mercy that goes beyond fairness, because of the desire to be in relationship with God. And that is a hard road God asks of us...But he walked it too...he knows our weaknesses, how bitter the dust is, how it hurts to be wronged, the helplessness when a victim of injustice, how it feels to know people hate you, want to kill you, what it’s like to be lied about and tortured and slandered and killed for political reasons. He himself did what he asks us to do.
We’ll fail from his standard from time to time and again, but he will pick us up if we let him, and help us dust off, and get back up the road.
And he tells us to do the same with those we come in contact with. Teaching by example.
