📖

As we draw near the end of the year, it is a good time to reflect on justice and mercy in our lives. Micah reminds us that God not only seeks what is right, but also longs for us to love compassion and humility. In a world that often values success and power, God invites us to take a contrary stance: to be just and merciful. Think of the situations in your life where you could have shown a little more compassion or defended the truth more courageously. What opportunities for repentance and reconciliation have you let slip by? This November, as you give thanks for blessings, also consider how you can be an instrument of justice and mercy. Small actions, like listening to someone in need or correcting a misunderstanding, can reflect God's love in the world.
