Act
justly
Love
mercy
Walk
humbly with God!
Micah
6:8
Pride
held me back
And
fear,
And
self interest,
Others
do not always act justly.
Why
should I.
If
I do what I said I would do
But
another does not,
I
would seem to be vulnerable
To
one who is not just!
Why
then should I act justly?
And
why should I love mercy,
When
I have been
Unjustly
treated,
Why
love mercy?
Yes,
pride held me back.
Yet
He has shown us
What
is good.
Loving
others is good,
Love
requires that I treat them justly.
Love
also requires that I love mercy
So
that when my neighbor
Offends,
We might be reconciled.
More
important, as I set down a path
Of
justice, I come to love His wise words.
Believing
God is good,
I
have come to love him.
Humbling
my self a bit,
I
move to search out His instruction,
For
it is wise and good and beneficial.
What
example have we to follow?
Christ
humbled himself and came to walk with us.
Christ
acted justly.
In
humility He went to the cross.
In
our pride, we crucified Him.
Yet
Christ showed His love for us
-
He
died for the unGodly, the unjust -
Even
while we were His enemy,
He
loved mercy,
He
came not to condemn the world
But
that the world thru Him might be saved!
Yes
his example is that we should act justly!
And
we should love mercy as He has demonstrated,
And
as He Humbled himself to walk with us,
We
should in humility,
Walk
with Him.
I
love the words
Of
the Word,
Jesus
Christ!!!
What
great hope
We,
the guilty,
Have
in His just act!
Come
unto me all you who labor and are heavy laden and
I
will give you rest.
-
The
Just God
Keeps
his Word.
Yes,
I have come to love Him!
I
have come to search for His Words.
I
believe He is the source of all wisdom.
I
know that I fall short.
And
have come to depend on His mercy.
In
humility, I choose daily to walk with Him
To
the place He will show me.
For
He is good!
