Today in church, a woman shared her testimony acknowledging that one may have a bad day. or week. or month. or year. or decade. Possibly more. And that Jesus is with us in those times, as He is throughout our lives.
I want to see people the way Jesus does. He sees where we are and where we came from, yes. But He also sees where we can go.
He knows we are not defined by all our yesterdays, or even by today. We are defined by being children of God, and by our possibility for limitless tomorrows. His sacrifice is not just for those who appear to be perfect, but for all of us who so clearly are not.
"I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" is not a condemnation of the sinner, but rather an invitation to come and be healed, cleansed and transformed through His great gift.
