“What if when we see someone caught in their old patterns, instead of judging them, we judge how much grace and mercy they are going to need in order to find God. What if instead we think “how much of the righteousness of God do they need to receive in order to get free of that sin?” What if instead of damning them and calling down judgment for their sin, we stand before the Father with Jesus and pray…this is the amount of mercy…please help us. Mercy triumphs over judgment. We need to be kissed by mercy if we are going to represent the heart of God.”  Graham Cooke
