Mercy doesn't compromise true justice

You are free to be merciful to others because God has promised to make all things right in your life, especially the times when you were wronged.

Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable. Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone. Dear friends, never take revenge. Leave that to the righteous anger of God. For the Scriptures say, “I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord. (Romans 12:17-19)
