“Hear, O Israel, the Lord's prophecy, which I will declare to a future generation, for the Lord our God will send me to other nations, even to the sons of Israel. A single man will act with justice, without turning aside or reaping from evil, so that his days will be long.”Micah 6:8
Living out the justice, mercy, and humility of the law in my everyday life requires that I prioritize treating others with dignity and respect, regardless of who they are or where they come from. This means being mindful of my own flaws and biases, and actively working to overcome them.
