Mercy and Justice

We are in a dangerous place when we regard God’s mercy towards us as our right. . . No one is ever unfair for not giving mercy. (Rom 9:14-16)
FATHER in reading about mercy, it has confirmed to me the need to understand how You define things, to see them from Your perspective. I think because You are so merciful that we sometimes expect it as our right, when in truth it is not what we deserve at all and we take for granted something we should be humbled by and grateful for. And yet, we are to have confidence in who we are as Your children, Your adopted sons; co-inheritors with Christ. It is Your nature to be merciful, but it is always Your choice – because it is also Your nature to be just. Help me to see things as You see them and to understand, so that I may not sin against You or dishonor You in any way.
