Faithful in Disgrace

Gos is always faithful when we sin against God. But God is also faithful, when we are sinned against. Understand that if a man cheats on his wife, and the wife is never made aware of the adultery that has been committed, she is a victim of the sin of adultery.

Some victims are treated with respect, and grace, and sympathy. But there are victims of sin who are not. This is most clearly seen in cases of sexual abuse and assault. This is an outrageous problem, for many reasons: First, because sex crimes such as slavery and prostitution exist; Second, because we are more likely to turn a blind eye and shun the women - an men - who are victimized.

Our culture has led us to believe that everyone always has a choice, and this is wrong. Children do not have a choice when their homes are torn apart. Children do not have a choice when they are kidnapped or stolen, or sold by their parents. Thankfully, God knows all circumstances, and He always faithfully and abundantly give grace. Just and Lindsey Holcomb writes, "Jesus' resurrection is proof that Gos is about redeeming, healing and making all things new."

That is the God that we serve. As humans we are not full of enough grace. But God is. We can never be so full of disgrace that god cannot wash it away. There is no level of victimization that we cannot be rescued from by the hands of God. There is no sin or wound that Gos cannot break through or heal. There is no length that God would not go. He is always faithful to find His sheep. You are His sheep.
