Have you ever sinned?  Do you know someone who has?  Do you judge the sin?  Do you judge the sinner?  How about forgiveness?  How about acceptance?

I've been thinking a lot about this recently.  About the awesomeness of God to forgive us, the believer.  So many thoughts really.  A lot of heart ache for family, friends, acquaintances, who have experienced their own heart ache as a result of a sinful act.  Relationships have been shattered.  As I think about what they must be going through I also think about God and what He might be going through and how He would expect or want myself and others to act towards those who (like us) have sinned.  Kinda pondering the 'what now' of the aftermath of sin.

While pondering this, I was driving and listening to K-love I can't recall the specific song that came on but it was the song on the radio that reminded me that I am to love.  I am to show Gods love to others.  ...Period.  Our God forgives.  Our God forgets.  Our God repairs, restores and heals.  How awesome is that!

So what about those going through their days feeling broken, shattered.  I can't fix, or mend the brokenness.  But I can pray.

I can pray for those who are affected.  I can pray for those who have sinned.

If only we could forget!  We can't but God can.  Regardless we're called to Love one another (sins & all).  So I hope to remember that, and to give that to all for all are deserving.

just a thought
