If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.
‭‭1 John‬ ‭1‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Oh, how the world loves it when a professing believer falls.

They feel great joy when hypocrisy is revealed and chalk it up for their relentless rebuttal of Christianity in its entirety.

Truth is, a fall that is confessed sincerely and forgiven completely returns us without blemish to the light and fellowship with God.

Those who lie in wait watching for our inconsistencies merely reinforce their ignorance of saving grace and proof against ever obtaining something that doesn’t exist.

It’s gonna happen. Then happen again.

Stop putting on their show and further distancing them from being reconciled themselves and get your act together.

Being a believer means you’re always on stage and in the spotlight of critics and their bad reviews.

Get used to it, get some help, and get better.
Not for them, for you, and for your testimony of God’s love and salvation.
