Daniel’s passage offers insight into Micah’s passage where God states mercy is to be loved. \u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e Our instinct is not to practice mercy, but rather to seek justice or revenge.  \u003c\/span\u003eImagine for a moment if mercy did not belong to God.

In God’s case, this would be 100% true. We are all guilty and undeserving of His mercy. However, our God is gentle. Our God is patient.
