Speak and do as one that shall be judged. The same words and standards I employ in my harsh judgment of others will be brought to bear in the judgment of Mark Roth . I must always remember that I, too, am subject to judgment. I should prepare for that instead of raining judgment on the heads of others. Let mercy reign.
Mercy is most significant where condemnation is most natural.
May God teach me to rejoice in showing mercy instead of judgment. Speak not evil one of another. Nor to my travelling companion. Nor to Mark in the echoing confines of his own head. This means disciplining my mind.
