when we fall
Scott Gressel is a leader in our community, in many ways he is paving the way of what it means to “go” on mission here. The post you are about to read speaks to the posture of a believer. For it is only by grace that any of us are here to tell of the mercy and goodness of God.
Hi,
During my normal quiet time, this morning, God whispered something to me regarding how important it is to bring our sins to light. He was talking to me…but I will share this here as it may help you as well get to that point of confession and cleansing.
When we fall, we are in the best position for an “Up” relationship with God because we are on our knees.
When we fall, we are in the best relational position for an “In” relationship with others because to confess we have to be transparent and open with others. Others see themselves in us and walls come down.
When we fall, we are in the best relational position for an “Out” relationship with those we want to serve because we have been humbled and are recipients of Grace. We can better relate to others since we too have been on the receiving end of kindness and love. It is then possible to serve without demeaning the other person or diminishing their self respect.
God bless,
Scott Gressel
