Why be Niggly?

For 18 March 2019, Monday of the second week of Lent, based on Luke 6:36-38

Jesus said to his disciples: “Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

  “Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”
