Proverbs 3:3-4

Let not mercy and truth forsake you;
Bind them around your neck,
Write them on the tablet of your heart,
And so find favor and high esteem
In the sight of God and man.

Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

Mercy and truth! How easy it is to be quick to judge others harshly, and skirt away from the whole truth and nothing but the truth (by bending it a bit). But the rewards of truth and mercy are worthy ones--ones we all desire! Let them help motivate us into holding ourselves back from harsh judgment and keeping the truth on our tongues!

God Bless You!
