The righteous fall seven times and rises again How precious this is to me. I blow myself up in full view of a mocking and hostile world which is eager to tell me I am a hypocrite... and man but they are so right! I deny everything I say I believe, and am humiliated because everyone sees it. I crash and burn with a spectacular technicolor display. If this were about my track record, I would be SO hopeless. This is the great promise to those who are in the faith. You can do so seven times This is a figure of speech. It means you have screwed up times without number. The cross is no less powerful and cleansing now than at first. You ARE a hypocrite. That is why this whole thing is not about you. You will rise again, pick up your soiled testimony for Jesus, and hate yourself for who you are, and meekly accept what Jesus said one more time (without me you can do nothing) and you will think how much longer will He put up with all my ****? and the skeptics will sneer.... and you will rediscover the true beauty of the good news. It is ok. -meditations on a good friend who is discouraged at him/herself, in light of Proverbs 24:16
