Drop the shame. Drop the stones. Get up from the dust. Come to Christ. Come with your wounds, your failures, your confusion, your broken heart. Come home. Because God is gracious and merciful. God is doing something new. God is doing something new in you. Even if you can't see it yet. Where you see only a dead end. God sees a path where you see failure. God sees your future where you see only rubble. God is ready to rebuild. "See? I am doing something new", says the Lord. Neither do I condemn you. Now go and sin no more, says Jesus. Strain forward to what lies ahead. Urges Saint Paul, even now, let us return to the Lord with our whole hearts.
