mercy for all

is that a cross in the clouds or Jesus with arms extended to us all?

you're gonna get what you give

seems I heard that over and over during my growing years

(as if growing ever ceases)

if you want to have a friend, be a friend

do unto others

love your neighbor

some lessons have been harder to learn

forgiveness, grace

can I proclaim judgement on others

while expecting mercy for myself?

dare I shout out for punishment for the sins of another

while clothing myself in the truth of His goodness 

while His mercy washes over me?

He Is mercy.  He Is grace.  He is love.

for the least of us

for all of us

every.single.one.
