God who is rich in mercy will see past your sin to help you to get to the root cause of why you are sinning. For starters, were all born-sinners. But second to that, we each have a story..a background..history..hang ups, hurts, prior or current addictions; and sometimes no matter how fervently we desire in our spirit man to be holy, the outward tug to fall is greater yet. We chose sin. We disobey. It happens. Its not okay and will carry consequences, but its expected as long as we are still in these bodies of flesh. Beloved, this is the time when Satan would pounce on your mind and tell you everything that you are not. You failed, yes.. but you are still a friend of God, His workmanship, His project, and He will see past the actual offense in order to help you to deal with whats causing such behaviors. Is Jesus not the Wonderful Counselor? A counselors job isnt to sit and judge simply for the sake of pointing out the end result, but rather to sit and listen in order to help find solutions to avoid certain harmful patterns again. The devil would say, take some time away and get things right. .prove to God youre serious. .then come back. God would say, even in your sin, come now! Today is the day of salvation! Never forget often the main culprit in our sinfulness isnt outward temptations. .its us. God knows how to restore. Romans 8:1 NKJV There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
