Mercy Needs Discernment
Mercy can free the heart while wisdom continues to guard the gate.
Forgiveness and access are separate decisions. Mercy may free the heart while wisdom keeps the gate. Confusing them can return a healed wound to the hands that made it.
A person can be released from your inner trial without being restored to their former place. Consequences may remain after hatred leaves.
What if peace requires less revenge and more accurate distance?
