You require mercy not sacrifice.
If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.
-1 Corinthians 13
It doesn't matter how right I am or what good I do, if I have not love it's worthless.
I may have been right about reporting child abuse but the way I treated those around me was completely wrong. I was prideful and selfish. I had not love.
I became a noisy gong, a clanging cymbal, I became nothing, I gained nothing.
Forgive me Jesus.
No, O people, the Lord has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
-Micah 6
I only had a third of the equation correct. I sought justice. I did not love mercy towards my brothers and sisters involved and I didn't walk very humbly. And it wasn't with You O God.
I need Your grace Jesus.
I need humility to admit my actions were right but my method was wrong and since my method was wrong, since I had not love, it was worthless.
Help me humble myself and disregard the fears of "I told you so" Help me become the servant of all.
