How hopeless & exceedingly sinful my life was. I remember the danger I was in, how close to death I had been before I'd been shown mercy.
Before you can judge someone else, look at the pit
where you would be in without God's mercy. Only then can you say, "God,
I know what You did for me and You can do the same for my friend who is
in sin. At one time I was just as wicked in Your sight. I can't judge
this friend, because You had mercy on me."
Never forget what I did for you, the incredible mercy I showed you. How many times did I dig you out of something that could have destroyed you? You wouldn't be here without My mercy. - God
