It never ceases to amaze me how a person who tries to do good and be kind is judged harshly for one bad act. You could have changed history by an act of heroism. It is possible that you have made selfless sacrifices that required a tremendous amount of time from your family. You’re always giving and going beyond what is required while expecting no applause. And then it happens, you fall short and mess up. Now, many see you as a failure. People you’ve known for years now call you horrible names. They tweet and post lies on social media and treat you as if you don’t exist. You feel isolated, embarrassed, and hurt though you apologized and have even taken responsibility. 

Beloved, this world can be good, and at times callous and cold. But let us not forget if not for the grace of God; it could be us. And it has been us because no one is free of sin. We all have come short of God’s glory. 

Therefore, when someone you know does something, you deem unforgivable, remember, we likewise have faults. We have all committed some act that we hope no one discovers. So, when someone does something wrong, before judging, remember all the good they have done and how it benefits society. Continue to treat them with respect and dignity. Continue to show God’s overwhelming love. It is possible by your act of mercy others will follow your example. We all need God’s grace. 

Jesus poured out His blood for the New Covenant of grace and truth, replacing the Old Covenant letter of the law of Moses. Believers are exclusively under the New Covenant, the last will and testament of Jesus that began after the cross.
