Grace for me, justice for
thee!, that’s
the world’s plea.
God, give me mercy, but judge my enemy!
To you is this a familiar sentiment,
One that, in your troubles seems so persistent?
‘In all the Earth’, God says, ‘Here I AM still,
My modus operandi to
fulfill,
To give to each one
fruits of his doing,
Fruits from seeds in his
heart he’s been brewing.’
To each and all, it is Grace that He’ll first extend,
Time allowed for us our sinful ways to amend.
In failing His Grace to heed, by judgment we’ll be
shocked,
Ensuring His justice will never by us be mocked!
From judgment righteousness flows, at least for a
while,
As the on-looking remnant amends their lifestyle.
But down the road, even this remnant tends to
forget,
As their appetites for sin, devils once again whet.
In this vignette I hope you will very clearly see,
Futility in …Grace
for me, not my enemy!
Better to perceive and act on Grace to
you extended,
Than to worry about what for enemies God’s
intended.
But if my advice you elect not to heed,
Consider likely fruits of your planted seed.
Enemies may repent, but even if they don’t,
You may be the one drinking from their judgment fount!
Might this notion also apply to nations?

God is in the Earth exercising loving-kindness (Grace), then justice (when Grace runs out), then right-ness (setting things right from His perspective). (Jeremiah 9:23-24, His self-proclaimed job description)
