A friend, while posing for a picture, saw a sign that read, "You get what you pay for.":"What does that mean?" he asked."A twenty-five-dollar picture is a 'Justice Picture', "said the photographer. "It's just as you are. The fifty-dollar picture is a 'Mercy Picture.' It makes you look better."When the proofs come back, he said, "I needed mercy."Don't we all!We aren't so close to perfection that we can be spiritual policemen over the lives of others. Since we need mercy more than justice, let's dwell more on being merciful than on being judgmental.The Bible says, "Blessed are the merciful;, for they shall obtain mercy."A friend, while posing for a picture, saw a sign that read, "You get what you pay for.":"What does that mean?" he asked."A twenty-five-dollar picture is a 'Justice Picture', "said the photographer.
