She doesn't need shame or blame. She needs love. Her sin was conceived from her own frailty and insecurity. I know because mine was too. Thank you for this post. PS I must say, forgiving is not for wimps. I am sitting here with tears streaming, overcome with compassion for the person who recently sinned against me. She doesn't need shame or blame.

This is what I try to remind myself when I see people sinning in such a way that they are hurting or attempting to hurt others...

Do you recall seeing the movie with Harrison Ford working in the White House with the President. I think 'Clear and Present Danger', or the other one. Anyway, the president was accused of an affiliation with a druglord and his staff wanted to cover it up. Harrison's character said "No, don't cover it up. Tell them he was your best friend" After that he advised him to grieve over the person's direction in life or something to that effect. The point was admit it and no one could go anywhere with it. No digging needed when the cards are all out on the table. There are some inner personal things I don't talk about in detail, but if I hid all my past then people would not know how Jesus changed my life. We can reach people by being transparent, just like Serena does. Great article Serena. I like the perspective you gave here. I agree with Serena, Michelle.

I'm slowly working and writing out my personal testimony and sharing it. It hasn't been easy and I can't help but be fearful that I'll be judged for my past. Thank you for this.
