Love Mercy

Love Mercy

At unCUFFED we strive to act justly and accept justice and the consequences our kids face. Still, we love mercy so much more.

At unCUFFED we strive to act justly, accepting the justice and consequences our kids face in court proceedings. Still, we love mercy so much more. The judicial system has the power and right to punish and harm our kids but we pray that compassion and forgiveness will overwhelm the Judge and mercy will be granted.

Often, when  writing a letter to a Judge we include ‘I understand that his actions demand a legal consequence but I ask, if at all possible, that he be shown whatever mercy is possible.’ A seated Judge reminds me of the Old Testament’s description of the mercy seat where the Shekinah glory of the Lord presides, dispensing mercy to man when the blood of atonement was sprinkled there. We are so thankful to have the blood of Jesus to bring that atonement to each of us.

We know that God loves mercy, His entire plan of salvation is to restore us to Him by providing mercy rather than justice. If our eternity was determined by a scale weighing good and bad in our thoughts and actions we would all deserve condemnation. For me, I am grateful for His mercy in my life. I acknowledge that ‘while I was still a sinner, Christ died for me.’ Mercy received leads us to love mercy for others and seek it for our kids specifically. We are not advocating for the tearing down of the jails but for mercy from Christ and from society for the boys & girls we love and serve.
