Powerful, beautiful words! Some sharing a table with you today may be falling in secret because no one has told them that life in Him is found in the getting up. Might you be the one to tell them that instead of being disqualified, they are candidates for an uncommon love that marks a man by how many times he’s gotten up, not by how many times he has fallen? And if you find those words are hard to say to the one to whom you rub elbows with wrapped in an ugly tangle of sin — if you find you’re afraid that words like this might endorse, even encourage sin — then take that as your opportunity to ask yourself: do I know Him as He really is? The love of the Father doesn’t sit with sin — that’s what the world calls tolerance — it doesn’t look past sin or dismiss it. God is not afraid of sin or threatened by us when we sin. The love of the Father knows, well, the stains on our story and yet, still, assures us when we repent that we haven’t been disqualified. The love of the Father eliminates the need for any secrets because exposure, before Him — true repentance, true turning — gives life and promise and hope. susanalexanderyates/?p=472
