Of hearts and mercy...

"But you have mercy on all, because you can do all things; and you overlook the sins of man that they may repent.
But you spare all things, because they are yours, O Lord and lover of souls, for your imperishable spirit is in all things."
Wisdom 11:23, 26

If there was ever clear evidence that we should always leave the judgment to God, here it is! God is the just judge, the One who knows each heart and mind and can make a much more merciful and compassionate judgment that any human could ever make. I'm not sure why we think we should be judging others, but we sure do! We make hasty judgments based on appearance, attitude, personality; none of which has anything to do with the heart's center, where God resides. On this day of hearts, Valentine's Day, let's think of God's spirit residing in the hearts of everyone we meet. Truly, God made every heart, fashioning it carefully and perfectly. Who are we to judge it? Love, heidi
