When we point our fingers in judgement at somebody in life and say that’s what they get, we have just negated and rejected all of God’s Mercy and Grace in our own life.
And if there’s one thing in life we should know by now, is that our “life choices bill” will always come due. In other words, there’s coming a time to we’ll need to “settle up”, or pay our own bill, and that time is quickly approaching. And when it comes, you cannot help pay somebody else’s bill. They’re going to need to pay their own bill. And their bill will come. As will yours.
Realize now for those of you who sowed Mercy during your life, when your bill comes due, you’ll discover somebody else already paid it, and although you will perceive what you deserve is coming, it never does. What you deserve will never come to you, for you reaped mercy from the mercy you sowed earlier.
Right now, in your life, this level of peace that you’re enjoying is a testament or a witness to the way you’ve been living with and among those in your circles of influence. If you don’t like the level of your life’s peace right now, then make some changes; sow mercy.
For example, has anybody ever heard a person say, “I know this is going to end badly, but let me go ahead and do it anyway.” You ever heard a person say something like that? They already know the outcome. And it will, probably end terribly. But they go ahead and do it. And maybe, even keep doing it!
Which really is not much different than when somebody says “I just can’t seem to make the necessary changes to get out of this rut!”
You see, that’s the problem right there in a nutshell! When you admit to and confirm with your adversary like that, it is game over!
