Don’t just demand justice from others. If you’re all about justice, ask yourself two questions: Am I always just in my dealings with others? Do I always want to be treated justly? Personally, I answer a big fat “NO” to these two questions. This doesn't mean that I can’t demand justice for victims of injustice, but it will help me to not put myself on a pedestal above those that I demand justice from, whether or not I think my injustices aren’t as gross as others. We are all broken human beings, and we all are unjust in different ways and we ALL desire mercy.

Justice and Mercy
Don’t just demand justice from others. If you’re all about justice, ask yourself two questions: Am I always just in my dealings with others? Do I always want to be treated justly?
