Never forget that the mercy you show is the mercy you will be shown when it comes to your own eventual judgment.

Shalom, and happy morning to you. We should not move around in this world as though we have complete jurisdiction and autonomy over our lives, and the lives of those around us. This must be especially true of how we treat people, whether they have done wrong to us or not. As servants of Yah, we are to operate within the bounds of his law, a law that calls for mercy. We are told repeatedly how merciful Yah has been to us and our people, despite our collective wickedness which is deserving of the swiftest death. If Yah can extend mercy to us following the abominable things we did as a nation—he did not wipe us out after all—then we can extend mercy to our neighbors here on earth.
If someone does you a terrible injustice, therefore, and they eventually fall under your power somehow, allowing you to decide their punishment, or exact some kind of penalty, think twice about that action. Never forget that the mercy you show is the mercy you will be shown when it comes to your own eventual judgment.
12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment.
