Mercy Needs Discernment

Mercy can free the heart while wisdom continues to guard the gate.

R Richard Nkwenti 1 min read

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?
