Balanced Living In The Attributes of God



When life is seen only through the bifocal lens of Truth and Justice, then we perceive our neighbor's behavior as always being wrong. We judge, condemn and have no hope. 


When life is seen only through the bifocal lens of Grace and Love, then we excuse our neighbors behavior is always being right. We rationalize, placate and live in denial. 

When life is seen simultaneously through each bifocal lens of Truth and Justice, as well as Grace and Love, then we see more like God. 

The truly hard and disciplined exercise of faith is living God's attributes in a balanced and mutually complimentary fashion
