Where Justice, Love, and Mercy Meet

From a daughter:

I was thinking about how our God – who places such a high emphasis on individual agency – made the qualification for His highest degree of glory so dependent on someone else

And I remembered reading that in the Sermon on the Mount, the verse that says “be ye therefore perfect” is actually better translated as “be ye therefore complete/whole”

So… maybe we aren’t really ever complete by ourselves

Men and women compliment each other quite well – I would say men in general are more justice-oriented and women are more mercy-oriented.

But God is where justice, love, and mercy meet – he is perfectly just and merciful.

I was thinking that marriage is something also like where justice, love, and mercy meet.

So it’s the only way we can be complete (and therefore like God).
