we all want it for ourselves, but...

Saturday, June 26, 2021



 M  e  r  c  y     -  David CLURE

 

 

Gathering  inside  the

court room,

the wheat and

tares -- both  looked

the same.

 

The innocent

sat with the guilty -- Self-righteoused

without

shame.

 

We all live in...

Houses of glass.

We all  cast

stones,

we want justice

fast.

 

BUT I wouldn't want to live,

in a World with, no mercy. 

No,  I couldn't ever live, without  mercy.

 

We all live in Houses of glass.  c'mon

We  ALL cast  stones.   I know I'm not alone in this.

We  all say we want Justice.

 

BUT I wouldn't want to live,

in a World with, no mercy.  Mercy.

No,  couldn't ever live, without, mercy.

Could you?

NO SIR!!! I WOULD HAVE BEEN 'BURNT UP' A LONG TIME AGO WITHOUT THE MERCY AND GRACE OF ALMIGHTY GOD. IN FACT, I DARE TO SAY...'EVERYBODY' ...WOULD HAVE BEEN GONE, INDEED. NOT ONE OF US ON THIS EARTH CAN POINT A FINGER AT ANOTHER...BECAUSE WE ARE ALL SINNERS DOWN HERE SAVED MY THE LOVE OF GOD THROUGH MERCY AND GRACE. WHAT A MAGNIFICENT THING MERCY IS; NOT GETTING THE PUNISHMENTS THAT WE DESERVE TO GET. AND THEN GRACE; GOD BESTOWING ON US THE BLESSINGS THAT WE ARE NOT WORTHY TO RECEIVE. ANOTHER GREAT WORK, DAVE...SO ENJOYED, THANK YOU. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

An interesting question. Justice is blind. Justice is often given to the ones with the money for the highest paid lawyers. But you are right. Very few fly under the radar these days. But those that destroy others and their lives without thinking, without any remorse, any mercy. Probably should receive just punishment.

I have lived long enough and watched karma leveled at so many evildoers that I believe justice is served to even those who think they are getting away with it.
