It is imperative that we put into proper perspective the idea behind Hashem’s ‘desire’ to seek justice; otherwise, it maybe appear to be harsh and unfair. The Torah teaches the genuine meaning behind Hashem’s idea of justice. The court system in this world (somewhat ‘resembling’ the Heavenly court) was founded on the principle that it serves to deter society from breaking the law. Therefore it needs not be viewed as a place of punishment and cruelty but as a place that encourages order and peace.
Furthermore, Hashem displays His endless love and compassion to Ahm Yisrael as He continuously gives us a ‘back door’ option before entering into a ‘court of law’ otherwise known as teshuva. “And you, son of man, tell the house of Yisrael: ‘You say “our sins and iniquities are upon us, and because of them we are rotting away, so how can we live?”‘ Say to them, ‘As I live — the words of my Hashem/Elokim — I do not desire the death of the wicked one, but only the wicked one’s return from his way that he may live; repent, repent…'” (Yechezkel 33:10-11).
Hashem will tear up all decrees, discard of them in their entirely! And what does Hashem, the ‘Prosecutor’ ask from us that we earn such compassionate treatment? “Stretch out your hand to Me. Talk to Me, show Me that you care. Be honest and tell Me your wrongdoings. Set up an action plan outlining your intent to correct your ways. Open your heart and be willing to surrender your ‘nature’ for the purpose of spiritual elevation. I in turn will overturn ‘nature’ for you.” Amazing, simply amazing…
