"Mercy is choosing pardon over punishment, forgiveness over fury, kindness over contempt. Not because they deserve it, but because they don't. To be clear, mercy is not codependence or covering up a crime. That would be enabling. Mercy, sourced in divine love, always has the other person's best interest in mind. It pays the price of someone else’s mistake, absorbing the expense and covering the cost."
