I (Esther) have been reading through the book of Judges recently, and have been struck by the way God is so merciful to his people despite their continued sin. The people of Isreal; time after time turned away from God and turned back to their old waya of sinning- does tha remind you of anyone? Yet despite their actions God still showed MERCY!

This is what I came up with when thinking of the word, "mercy." God's mercy is abundant and beautiful!
Hi!
The quote from Micah is the first one I thought of for this topic - often used by our parish justice and peace group.
Said group has now folded as the Chairman sadly died (after an operation which had gone well he suddenly went downhill - such a shock to his family just before Christmass 2007) and the Secretary's wife is now not well at all, so he had to resign, too.
But I will always associate that verse with the group, which was part of my life for a while.
