Justice, Love, Mercy
Once upon a time there was a little girl who wanted freedom and love for others. As the years passed she became more and more the person others wanted to see and less and less the person she really wanted to be. This young girl had great love for others, maybe she had the biggest love for others i have ever seen. She invited anyone in her home that ever was in need, many times she herself didn't have anything to eat, but that never stopped her from sharing with others, if nothing else at least a warm bed on a cold winter day.
As the years passed her big heart she shared with many people got hurt many times by those she once helped. Many times she found herself wondering if love is always the answer to all pain, or to all the world's problems. Day by day she forgot her power to love and share with others. She had more and more friends around her she could use to get what she wanted. What she really thought she needed. More time passed, more lies she said, and more money she owed to others she probably didn't even know in person. Because of the pain she had in her heart and soul, she started drinking as much as she could to forget the pain in so much that it took her life.
Many times I wonder when one day she will stand in front of God would God just send her away saying that she was an alcoholic? Or would God take her hand and say "My daughter, I was always there with you, in everything you have done for others, I held your hand and we both helped together. I always knew what your dreams were, and I always saw you through your heart. I saw you through your heart even when you tried to hide form me, when you made some decisions you shouldn't have. I held your hand to the end. You are my daughter and no matter of your bad choices in your life you are still my daughter and I love you."
If Christ wouldn't have done the sacrifice for us that he has done, if God would only be the God of Justice, then this girl would be shortly lost forever and ever. But I know she is not lost, I know that she got another chance from God through his only begotten Son Jesus Christ. If God would only be the God of Justice, he wouldn't have sent his son to suffer for our sins. And if Christ wouldn't have loved us as he does, he wouldn't have been able to sacrifice himself for something he didn't believe in or loved so much: "us."
If God would only be the God of Justice I wouldn't write these lines with so much hope and love, because I know that God is just and merciful but most of all he is a loving father to his children, and because of that I know that the girl who's story I briefly shared is safe and loved and will be reunited in peace and love with her daughters, my sister, and I who love her very much.
I know that God loves us more than we can imagine and that at the end of our days he and only he and Christ are the judges. No one else.
