Dear One,
Extend mercy to all people whom others judge. Share their grief and their regret that they have fallen prey to spirits who entice men to kill, to maim, to rob, to steal, to injure, to belittle, to oppress and to dominate.
You must not judge them because you do not know how you would act or react in the same situation if you had identical genes, destructive childhood experiences, lack of education and lack of an emotional support group, you would probably have identical actions or reactions. If you have not struggled against the same demonic influences, then you do not know what you would do.
You hope that you would act or react differently, the righteous way, but you do not know unless you have walked in their flesh and lived in the same conditions and family circumstances. If you had been born in the same earthly family as the perpetrator, you might have made the same mistakes, or if you had the same unruly friends you might have made destructive choices.
Judgment is not your appointed task. Community legal officers and courts have that responsibility for the protection of all people, so they make necessary legal judgments.
You have been born of My Spirit, who is full of mercy, so your appointed task is to be merciful, praying that people can be put on the road to being born of My Spirit so that old things will pass away and all things will become new.
Love, God
