"Because we look up, we're compelled to look out."
"We need eyes pried wide-open to mercy so great and so rescuing that it cannot help but make us merciful. We need the mercy of a holy, righteous God who is good enough for us. Should we ever forget, we need a wild-eyed reminder of the rock from which we've been hewn and the pit from which we've been pulled so that, If we err toward our brother, we err on the side of Mercy.
Lord, shake us out of the slumber of ourselves helplessness and awaken us to a mercy so wide that we rise to the light of the east while our transgressions set in the west. This is the mercy that breeds mercy. This is the love that loves others as itself. This is the law of the Great King.
