Let not mercy and Truth forsake thee:
Bind them about thy neck;
Write them upon the table of thine heart.
So shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Proverbs 3:3-4
Mercy AND Truth
Some focus more-so on Mercy but do not want to hear Truth. They label it as being judgmental.
Some focus on Truth according to Scripture but do not have enough Mercy.
There must be a balance of both.
You can speak the Truth in love, but Truth must still be spoken.
Meanwhile, we cannot forsake Mercy, for that is the seat where God dwells. He has been merciful to us. We need to extend Mercy to others.
We need both Mercy AND Truth.
Don't despise either one.
For by these two things shalt thou find favor and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
